I teach in DeSoto because 1) the pay is great and 2) the ongoing opportunities to develop and hone my teaching practice alongside experienced mentors. I've always felt like we (students, teachers, and administrators) are all in this together, no matter how choppy the waters may become

I've spent my life in the DeSoto parish school system! I started as a student at LHS, then graduated from Stanley. After college, I started teaching at Pelican, then spent 20 years at North Desoto. Now I'm back at Stanley teaching my favorite subject, math! DeSoto is definitely in my blood!

I had the honor of attending and graduating from the DeSoto Parish School System (MHS class of 1990). I am thankful for the opportunities DeSoto Parish has given me the past 25 years, as a teacher and a coach. DeSoto Parish has allowed me to grow as a person and it is my honor to call DeSoto home.
