North DeSoto Middle School is celebrating one of its own after an eighth-grade student was selected to represent DeSoto Parish as a Louisiana 4-H State Livestock Ambassador.

Jenna, a member of the 2025-2026 North DeSoto Middle School Griffin family, is spending this week in Baton Rouge participating in the Louisiana 4-H Livestock Ambassador Training, an honor reserved for outstanding 4-H members from across the state.

Jenna was chosen to serve as one of Louisiana’s State Livestock Ambassadors, giving her the opportunity to strengthen her leadership skills, expand her agricultural knowledge, and serve as an advocate for the livestock industry.

The ambassador training provides participants with valuable experiences in leadership development, communication, and agricultural education while preparing them to represent Louisiana 4-H and the state’s livestock industry at various events and educational programs.

North DeSoto Middle School recognized Jenna’s accomplishment and encouraged the community to join in celebrating her achievement.

Representing both DeSoto Parish and North DeSoto Middle School, Jenna’s selection highlights the strong tradition of youth leadership and agricultural excellence fostered through Louisiana’s 4-H program.

The school congratulated Jenna on earning the prestigious honor and wished her continued success during this week’s training in Baton Rouge.
