Last year, during our 2019-2020 school year, the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching (NIET) presented the District Award of Excellence for Educator Effectiveness to DeSoto Parish Schools. We were excited to see the story that NIET recently published, highlighting last year’s video. Please visit https://www.niet.org/newsroom/show/video/niet-district-award-of-excellence-for-educator-effectiveness-desoto-parish-schools-louisiana to read the release and see the video filmed during the 2019-20 school year. #DeSotoStrong
