March’s Leadership DeSoto Program focused on Education.
Participants were in smaller groups first thing in the morning toured different schools around the county. They visited classrooms, activities and visited with Principals to see first-hand what happens at the individual school each day.
Then the full class gathered at the DeSoto County Career Technology Center West Campus to learn more about the CTC programs, North Point Christian School and how Accelerate MS and Career Coaches work for our students.
We finished the day with a visit to Northwest DeSoto and Ole Miss DeSoto and the Ranger Center. Participants learned about the many options after high school, including the Technical offerings at Northwest. After which, they took a tour that included the many specialty labs.
