The DeSoto Schools family is saddened by the loss of one of our own, Mr. Kervin Campbell, a 5th-grade teacher at Mansfield Middle School. Mr. Campbell worked tirelessly for many years in service to the students and families of Mansfield . Our entire community is suffering the loss of our friend and colleague.
As adults, we are well aware of the substantial emotional impact that follows the death of a loved one or friend. We are working together with our Crisis Response Team to offer support to the students and staff at school. Please feel free to contact us if you need additional assistance. Counselors and other support staff will be available at the campus today (October 28) and will continue to be available to students, teachers, and families as needed.

The DeSoto Schools family is saddened by the loss of one of our own. Mrs. Christolyn Moses Sims was loved by all who knew her. Her bright smile brought joy to any room, but her wit and wisdom made her unforgettable.
Christolyn served in several capacities in DeSoto. She began as a teacher at North DeSoto Middle School where she also poured into students as a coach. Because of her leadership capacity and her desire to increase her impact on DeSoto students, Christolyn later served as Assistant Principal at North DeSoto Middle. Christolyn's final position with DeSoto Schools allowed her to combine her leadership abilities as well as her love for content as Coordinator of Student Learning for Science and Social Studies.
We will miss her joy and passion for her work and pledge to honor her by continuing her mission to serve others. Our thoughts and prayers are with Christolyn's family and all those who knew her.
