Philosophy
At DeSoto Middle School we believe everyone has the right and responsibility to achieve his or her educational best. Successful student education results from a safe, supportive and challenging environment that gives the early adolescent an opportunity to explore, discover and learn. To be the best we can be, we will:
- Honor individual differences
- Clearly define the things we expect from everyone
- Hold each person accountable for his or her own behavior
