📷 We are still looking for historical photos!

Every photograph tells a story, and we need your help to tell the rich history of DeSoto Parish Schools and DeSoto Parish.

As part of a curated art project celebrating our schools, our heritage, and the generations who helped shape our parish, we are collecting historic photographs from decades past. Whether it's a classroom memory, a school event, athletic team, graduation, school bus, campus, or any special moment connected to DeSoto Parish Schools, your photos can help tell our community's story.

If you have old photographs tucked away in albums, scrapbooks, or boxes, we'd love for you to share them with us!

📧 Email a copy of your photos to:
Peyton Dufour, Communications Coordinator
