Real Talk with Rhoads..

NDMS Griffin Families,

Homecoming week is here, and with it comes one of the best examples of what makes North DeSoto so special. From Pre-K through 12th grade, our students, families, and staff come together to celebrate what makes us proud to be Griffins.

We want to encourage all of our students and families to take part in the excitement of the week! Dress-up days, parades, pep rallies, and the game itself are more than just fun; they’re opportunities to show school spirit, build lasting memories, and connect. These events reflect the small-town traditions we value at North DeSoto, where every student is part of something bigger than themselves.

Let’s cheer loudly, dress boldly, and support each other throughout the week. Together, we’ll make this Homecoming one to remember and go into Fall Break with many memories made.


~Mrs. Rhoads
