They took away our good choir teacher. This school sucks and the food is absolutely gross. Maybe they should stop spending all their money on new technology and spend it on good food. Not all students can drink milk and thats all they ever have.

I love being at DeSoto county high school. I feel like we have a lot of clubs and Sports to not only keep our minds on something to work hard towards .but, something to be proud of. One thing I wish I could change is school involvement I feel as in to we can do more than what we put our minds to.

I would love to see more opportunities to take certification classes. I would also very much love to see more clubs coming in.

My kid came home from school and told me a girl did some non-educational activities and the school had to go in lock down because the girl was running around shirtless all while doing PSAT's.

i think administration is awfully rude towards parents. and we are supposed to work together as a team for our children? teachers are not aware when students are in their class or absent. will mark a student absent when they are there. not allowing in most classes to bring home homework, or textbook...
