Our Middle Griffin 4H members talked about upcoming events and played 4H bingo in today's meeting. Great job, Griffins!
Schools in the North DeSoto area continue to face the challenge of accommodating the community’s rapidly growing population.
North DeSoto Middle School has seen exponential growth in all grade levels creating challenges for students to be able to participate in different activities and programs due to capacity issues and limitations. Grade levels have grown in population up to four times what they were in the early 2000s and classes and hallways are simply overflowing with students.

In a survey that saw input from more than 600 residents of District 2, 78% of respondents either agreed or strongly agreed that the DeSoto Parish School Board needs to do something about the growth in the North DeSoto area

Voters in District 2 (North DeSoto Schools) rejected a bond proposal for capital improvements in November 2023. Because of the urgency of overcrowding and growing enrollment, the DeSoto Parish School Board has approved an April 27, 2024 election with a revised plan for voters to consider.
