January is School Board Recognition Month!
We are especially grateful for our Desoto Parish School Board members, all of whom work behind the scenes to support students, staff, and families. Our schools are stronger because of the time, thought, and service each of them has given. They listen, lead, and advocate for what’s best for our students and educators. Their work truly makes a difference, and their service and commitment to our schools does not go unnoticed! They are the DeSoto Difference! #LEADLikeaGriffin #DeSotoDifference

Welcome back Griffins! We hope you are enjoying your last couple of days of break. Our teachers are already back at school prepping for a fun start to the second semester, and to kick it off, we would like to recognize two very special Griffins, Misses Marlee Sharrow and Emerson Dufour, for their performances in The Nutcracker presented by the Shreveport Metropolitan Ballet! These ladies had the opportunity to play in many roles including a soldier, page, sheep and an angel! Way to go girls! We are proud of you! #LEADlikeaGriffin
