DeSoto Parish Schools is inviting prospective and current educators to experience the district firsthand during Discover DeSoto Day 2026, a full-day event designed to showcase what officials call “The DeSoto Difference.”

The event is scheduled for Wednesday, April 8, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and will take place at 399 Jenkins Street in Mansfield. District leaders say the initiative aims to provide teachers with an inside look at the school system’s campuses, programs, and collaborative culture.

Participants will have the opportunity to visit all nine DeSoto Parish school campuses, attend cluster meetings, and connect directly with district administrators and fellow educators throughout the day.

Organizers say the event is intended to help educators better understand the district’s educational approach and professional environment.

School officials encourage educators interested in learning more about career opportunities and district initiatives to attend and see how DeSoto Parish Schools are “winning together.”

Those interested in participating can register or request additional information by contacting Amanda Tingle at amanda.tingle@desotopsb.com or by calling 318-872-2836.

District leaders say Discover DeSoto Day offers a unique opportunity for educators to explore the community, meet leadership teams, and experience the programs and partnerships that support student success across the parish.
