Teacher Appreciation Week

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
