North DeSoto High School

Congratulations to the Griffin Band. They competed in the Parkway competition today and cam in 5th place overall!

Cross country had a great meet today at Benton. We had a 12th place finisher and a personal best.

NDHS early morning leadership team meeting. Leadership team met before SPT Meetings to discuss coaching techniques for analyzing student work.

Due to the weather forecast tomorrow, we will postpone the parade to October 15th. We want to give the entrees time to reschedule cars, balloons, decorations, etc. On the 15th, we will have the parade, pep rally, and the court presentation at halftime of the game.

NDHS would like to express their appreciation to Marine Lance Corporal Gage Nichols - North Desoto High School Class of 2018. Gage has been deployed on the ship, Iwo Jima, since February when he received orders to deploy to Kabul, Afghanistan on August 12th. His 1st Battalion, 8th Marines were the first on the ground at the airport, keeping the vital lifeline open for vulnerable Afghans attempting to flee and any U.S. citizens who remained in the country. He was in the last battalion to leave the airport on August 30th. Gage is currently stationed at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina. He joined the Griffins Friday in the coin toss for the game against Sterlington. NDHS appreciates his service.

There has been an update to NDHS's Homecoming Week schedule.
