DeSoto Parish Schools is excited to announce the appointment of Mrs. Lainee Cosby as Executive Master Teacher of Student Learning.
As an educator for twenty-two years, nineteen in Desoto Parish, Mrs. Cosby has had the opportunity to impact the growth of teachers and students directly.

Mrs. Cosby also recently worked to help create the LDOE Accelerate Math Curriculum, which is used to aid in closing learning gaps for students across the state.
Mrs. Cosby is married to Matt Cosby, and they have three daughters, Lori Cosby Bearden, Kylee Cosby, and Ella Cosby, all of whom are products of the DeSoto Parish school system.
Mrs. Cosby is ready to step into this role and continue the DeSoto mission of growing students: "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with educators in all DeSoto schools to continue to help grow and impact students.”
