👮‍♂️Happy National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day!

Today we proudly honor our outstanding School Resource Officers from the DeSoto Parish Sheriff's Office for their unwavering commitment to the safety and success of our students and staff.

Our SROs do so much more than provide security. They build meaningful connections, mentor students, and help foster a supportive, positive school environment where everyone feels safe and valued.

Whether they’re welcoming students in the morning, attending school events, or offering guidance throughout the day, their presence makes a lasting difference. Their dedication, compassion, and service to our schools and community are deeply appreciated.

Thank you, DeSoto Parish SROs, for everything you do!
We are grateful to have you as an important part of the DeSoto Parish Schools family.

💙 Join us in celebrating our amazing SROs by sharing your appreciation in the comments!
