This case provides emerging school administrators the opportunity to learn about the school system in Mexico. The case relates to a successful principal in her new school assignment. Martha Miramontes is an experienced and successful principal who quickly identified a number of challenges in her new campus. Even though each problem can be solved with a particular strategy, for the first time, Martha is facing a situation where all problems seem to require immediate attention.

This case explores possible sequence of actions of an experienced principal facing multiple problems in the setting of a Mexican Public "Secundaria".
