First day of School

DeSoto Parish Schools are thrilled to welcome students back to the classroom for the 2024-2025 school year. The first day of school marks the beginning of another exciting chapter, filled with learning, growth, and the joy of reuniting with friends and educators.

This year, DeSoto Parish Schools continue to embody the spirit of #TheDeSotoDifference, a commitment to fostering a positive and caring culture that enables every student and educator to thrive. As we embrace our small-town traditions, we are also focused on achieving high performance in all aspects of education.

"We are excited to see our classrooms once again filled with the bright smiles of our students and the dedication of our teachers," said Clay Corley, Superintendent of DeSoto Parish Schools. "This year, we are committed to making it the best one yet by working together as one big DeSoto family."

DeSoto Parish Schools are dedicated to creating an environment where each student can succeed and where unforgettable memories are made. As we embark on this new academic year, we look forward to continuing our tradition of excellence, growth, and unity.

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
