My over all experience at North Desoto Highschool was very pleasant. The teachers are very nice and caring, The sports and Band are great and the over all school culture makes the atmosphere better. The only thing I wish to change is the school diversity. There isn't many of mixed raced people. In the future I hope this can change and make North Desoto a more diverse and inclusive school and I believe that we are on the right path to make that happen.

The best part was the loving family like culture at north Desoto. While the worst is the favoritism for people who play sports. They are often able to get away with illegal activities with little tono consequence.
