The DeSoto Independent School District kicked off the 2024-2025 academic year with a strong show of leadership and enthusiasm.
Superintendent Dr. Usamah Rodgers, accompanied by the DeSoto ISD School Board of Trustees, made a spirited visit to district campuses on the first day of school.
The district leaders were seen engaging with students and staff, spreading positivity and encouragement to set the tone for a successful school year.
From reading sessions to high-fives, the superintendent and board members aimed to foster a welcoming and motivating environment for both returning and new students.
The first-day activities, including warm greetings, classroom visits, and interactive sessions, underscored the district’s dedication to student achievement and well-being.
The district’s Instagram page, @desotoisdeagles, shared highlights from the day, featuring photos of Dr. Rodgers and board members engaging with the school community.
One particularly notable image shows Dr. Rodgers, dressed in a sharp suit, standing alongside two board members, all beaming with pride as they celebrate the start of a new academic journey.
The social media post looked to express the district’s mission to encourage students to “soar higher” throughout the year, aligning with DeSoto ISD’s ongoing commitment to educational excellence and student empowerment.
