DeSoto Parish Schools is excited to announce that Mrs. Tamela Phillips has been appointed as the Supervisor of Human Resources.
As an educator for twenty-eight years, spending 16 in the classroom and 12 as an administrator, Mrs. Phillips has enjoyed watching students grow into young adults who move on to college or the workforce. For the last five years, she has served DeSoto Parish as the Principal at North DeSoto High School, where she has thoroughly enjoyed working with the staff and students. Her favorite times in the building are visiting classrooms and witnessing the work done by teachers and students on a daily basis. She has also enjoyed the many hours cheering on the Griffins in many sports and extracurricular events, as they are an important part of high school. Mrs. Phillips is most proud of the work done by students and teachers and the steady growth of NDHS during her tenure, and looks forward to seeing that growth continue in the future.
While Mrs. Phillips loves the students and staff of NDHS and will miss them tremendously, she is excited to step into a new role in DeSoto Parish Schools. “I am excited about the opportunity to work at the district level and strive to support principals with staffing and working to have a positive impact on teacher recruitment, retention, and new teacher support.”
Mrs. Philips will assume the role of Supervisor of Human Resources effective July 1, 2024.
