Stanley High School empowers our students to become graduates equipped with the values, confidence, and skills to become successful in academics and in life.

Stanley High School has officially earned an "A" School Performance Score for 2025 — and we’re celebrating BIG GAINS across DeSoto Parish!

It’s been NINE years since Stanley held an "A" rating, and this milestone speaks to the incredible dedication happening in our classrooms every day. Our teachers give their all. Our students work hard and rise to every challenge. Together, they’ve shown what Panther pride and persistence can accomplish!

Thank you to every teacher, student, staff member, and family who made this achievement possible. This is more than a score — it’s a moment of pride for our entire community.

💙🐾 STANLEY IS AN "A" SCHOOL AGAIN! Let’s keep the momentum going and continue showing what it means to be a Panther! 💙🐾

This month, we proudly celebrate our students who exemplify what it means to be Goal Oriented—students who set clear goals, work with purpose, and stay committed to achieving success. From each classroom, teachers nominated learners who consistently demonstrated this trait, and from those nominees, one student from each grade band—PreK–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12—was selected to represent our school’s Portrait of a Graduate for September. Congratulations to these dedicated goal-setters!

In October, we recognize students who shine as Team Collaborators—those who communicate respectfully, support their peers, and contribute positively to group success. Teachers selected students who displayed exceptional collaboration in their classrooms, and from those nominees, one representative from each grade band—PreK–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12—was chosen to embody this month’s Portrait of a Graduate descriptor. Congratulations to our outstanding team players!

Christmas Spirit Week will be the week of December 15th-19th! Grades PreK-5th will do classroom activities to go along with each day, but EVERYONE is allowed to dress up and show Christmas spirit! 

End-of-Course (EOC) testing starts this week for our high school students. Please review the schedule below:

• English 1: Tuesday–Thursday, December 2–4
• English 2 & Civics: Monday–Wednesday, December 8–10

To help students do their best, please ensure they:

We believe in you, students! Do your best, stay confident, and show what you know—you’ve got this! 💪✨
