Welcome to DeSoto Elementary—home of the DeSoto Dragons!

It is both an honor and a joy to serve as your new principal as we continue to build upon a strong tradition of growth and achievement. Whether you are a returning family or new to our school community, we are excited to welcome you and partner with you in your child’s educational journey.

At DeSoto, we believe every child deserves a safe, supportive, and academically engaging environment where they are inspired to succeed. As a PBIS school, we are committed to fostering positive behavior, strong character, and a culture that supports the development of the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally. Guided by our vision—Empowering Every Child, Every Day through Love, Learning, and Leadership—we remain dedicated to helping every student grow and succeed. We encourage all families to stay connected, get involved, and join us as we work together to ensure every DeSoto Dragon thrives.

We are looking forward to a great year!

Lindsay Allen, Principal
