We proudly celebrate the Mansfield High School Wolverines and Logansport High School Tigers on an incredible season! From unforgettable regular-season moments to deep playoff runs, our student-athletes showed toughness, heart, and the high performance that defines #TheDeSotoDifference.

A huge thank-you to the coaches who lead with purpose, the communities who show up with unwavering support, and the players who left everything on the field.

We are so proud of each of you—and grateful for the spirit, tradition, and teamwork you bring to DeSoto Parish Schools. #DeSotoStrong

🌍 WORLD KINDNESS WEEK at MHS 💛
The kindness didn’t stop this week. Our Mansfield High School Wellness Ambassadors kept the momentum going with more moments that made our Administration Team smile.

This week was all about reminding people that small gestures can shift the whole atmosphere. A kind word, a treat passed with a smile, or simply showing appreciation can brighten someone’s entire day.

We’re proud of our Ambassadors for leading with heart and showing what kindness looks like in action.

MHS is stronger when we choose kindness on purpose. 💛🖤

World Kindness Week!

World Kindness Week is a global reminder to slow down, look around, and choose kindness on purpose. It encourages communities to practice compassion, gratitude, and everyday acts that lift others up.

This week, our Mansfield High School Wellness Ambassadors poured kindness into every corner of the building, and our staff felt the love.

All week long, they shared simple gestures that made a big impact. From surprise treats to thoughtful moments of appreciation, they reminded our staff how much they matter.

Our Ambassadors showed that kindness doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful. It just has to be genuine.

Swipe through the photos and see the joy they spread.
Kindness looks good on MHS.
