My high school experience at DeSoto County was very good but I have heard many stories of bad experiences but for me personally it was great aside from a few bad teachers.

The best part about my highschool experience was always having that one teacher every year that I could connect with and they could help with anything I needed or give me information about something else who could help. The teachers are great here and are always willing to help and support. The worst part is just finding where you fit in at, I would say it can be hard at first but once you find your place, everything should be good after that.

As a senior, I would say that my overall experience in Desoto County High School was interesting because I get to meet new teachers along the way and rekindle with long lost friends.
