School Mission Statement

The North DeSoto High School Griffin Family is dedicated to each student achieving academic success and obtaining life skills to become confident, goal-oriented, life-long learners.

Griffins,

 

The Griffins are 2-0 after turning up at Turpin Stadium and SPT meetings were highly engaging. After a week of reflection with our staff here is what we have learned. The teachers and students are meeting the mark on Education Priority 2 (meaningful and differentiated instruction that supports academic success for every student). This doesn't mean that we have arrived, but it does mean that we are effective and growing.

We look forward to continuing to grow and increase our effectiveness each day!

 

Your Principal,

 

Joe Saverino

 

ATTENTION SENIORS:

Congratulations! You are on your way to your future beyond North DeSoto High School.  While this is a special time, as students in your last year of high school, each of you still have responsibilities to carry out.  Your number one priority is to stay on top of your grades.  Attendance is also extremely important; make sure you are at school and on time.  With this exciting year also comes some financial obligations - Graduation fees. 

The Graduation fee for the Class of 2027 will be $170.  This amount covers the cost of your cap, gown, diploma cover, yearbook, pictures taken at graduation and a senior class T-shirt. These individual fees have been grouped together into one graduation fee.  You may NOT opt out of any individual fees; everyone must pay the entire graduation fee of $170.  

In order to participate in graduation exercises, you must pay your fees in full.  Payments can be made in the form of cash, money order or checks made payable to NDHS.  Mrs. Hall will take your payments in the front office daily before school, during lunch, or after school.   The final deadline for payments will be 03/19/2027.  The payment plan has been set up for your convenience.  

 Graduation Fee Payment Plan:

  $50.00   11/20/2026

  $60.00   01/22/2027

  $60.00   03/19/2027

Please complete the form in your Google Cohort 2027 classroom classwork assignment titled “Graduation Cap & Gown Form” so we may order the appropriate sizes.
