In Loving Memory of Ms. Lara Lyons It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of Ms. Lara Lyons, a beloved teacher at Mansfield High School. Ms. Lyons was a dedicated educator, a compassionate colleague, and a cherished member of the DeSoto Parish Schools family. Her commitment to her students and passion for teaching touched countless lives, and her absence will be deeply felt across our school community. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Ms. Lyons’ family, friends, students, and fellow educators. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who are grieving this immense loss. In times like these, it is important to remember that no one has to face grief alone. DeSoto Parish Schools is offering grief counseling and support services to any student or staff member in need. We encourage anyone seeking assistance to contact the Office of Student Services for resources, counseling, and emotional support. ***Please Note As we join together in mourning, we kindly ask that all students, staff, and community members refrain from organizing or participating in any public celebrations of life or memorials until we have received consent and guidance from Ms. Lyons’ family. It is our priority to honor her memory in a manner that aligns with her family’s wishes and respects their grieving process. Details regarding formal funeral arrangements will be shared as soon as they are available. We honor the memory of Ms. Lyons and the lasting impact she made on our DeSoto Parish and Mansfield High School families.

𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟓 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 At this time I would like to recognize our May Teacher Spotlight. This is by far the most personal and emotional teacher spotlight nomination. I received an email from senior, Angelina Wilson. She says, “ Good Morning Ms. Ross.I would like to nominate Sergeant First Class Evans as this month's Teacher Spotlight. Throughout all these years, I have never met anyone that came in and took the place of someone else and made the experience 10 times better. I was able to build a bond with him, as he was the main reason I was able to learn how to adapt to change. From his 2 years being here, he has been nothing but an amazing Army Instructor, and I wouldn't have it any other way. His determination and integrity is truly spectacular and as the end of my high school career is over, I’m truly proud of who I have become, and I have him to thank for it. May his future moving forward from Mansfield High be nothing but happiness, success, and most importantly peace. He will be the person I will miss moving forward as he made his teaching environment feel more like home since I've been here.” For these reasons and many more, SFC Evans is our Mansfield High School’s May Teacher Spotlight. SFC Evans has truly been a blessing to Mansfield High School and will leave a lasting impact on all of us. He exemplifies all of our Wolverine CORE values…Caring, Perseverant, Respectful, Servant Leader and Team Player. At this time, Angelina is presenting SFC Evans with some of his favorite things, compliments of Principal Ross, Mrs. O and Coach Burch. Congratulations to SFC Evans on being our last teacher spotlight for the 2024-2025 school year!

𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 At this time I would like to recognize our May Student Spotlight. I received an email from Ms. Lyons. She says, “9th grader Brenton White exemplifies the very meaning of what it means to be a Wolverine. He is respectful, mature, self-driven, highly fashionable, and a top notch A plus plus leader student. He is not afraid of hard work, and he is definitely going to go places in life. I am very proud of him , as I am sure all his other teachers are too. I would like to nominate him for best student EVER.” Thank you Brenton for displaying the CORE value of Respectful. Brenton will create a $25 Amazon shopping list with Mrs. Allen. Congratulations on being our last student spotlight for the 2024-2025 school year!
