There are just 3 weeks left of the 2025-26 school year!
When students show up they are able to strengthen friendships, stay on track with school work, build strong habits, and find a passion for learning.

Let’s kick off Teacher Appreciation Week by celebrating the incredible team of teachers of Logansport High School! Thank you for all that you do for our Tigers! #NationalTeacherAppreciation #TheDeSotoDifference
The last few weeks were packed with baseball and softball—one where it’s rare to see so many teams make deep postseason runs and continue competing at such a high level. Across DeSoto Parish, our student-athletes showed what it means to compete with excellence, pride, and heart.
We are especially proud of our North DeSoto High School Griffins and Logansport High School Tigers baseball teams for their outstanding seasons and postseason success. These young men represented their schools and our parish with class, resilience, and a commitment to our core values.
This is what it means to be #DeSotoStrong—competing together, supporting one another, and striving for excellence at every level. #highperformance #TheDeSotoDIfference
Congratulations to the North DeSoto Lady Griffins for defeating Brusly 1-0 and capturing the LHSAA Division II Non-Select Softball State Championship!, their 8th championship in school history!
This remarkable achievement reflects a legacy of excellence built on hard work, discipline, and an a strong commitment to success. You represented your school, the Stonewall community, and DeSoto Parish with pride—and once again brought a state title home!
We are incredibly proud of this team and the tradition you continue to uphold. Champions in every sense of the word! 💪
