About Our School

Written By Second Grade Students

At DeSoto Central Primary School everyone (students, parents, teachers and staff members) will learn. We will learn how to think, how to learn, and how to understand. We will learn about the earth and how to take care of it. We will be safe and learn how to keep ourselves safe through drills. We will learn how to make new friends and be respectful to adults and to each other. We will develop creativity through art and music. We will learn to stay healthy by participating in PE and eating nutritious meals in the cafeteria. We will have the opportunity to perform in front of others. We will learn to use technology. DeSoto Central Primary School is a place where we can learn and have fun at the same time. It is a place where we can get smarter, so we can graduate and have a good life.

DeSoto Central Primary School is located in Southaven, MS and is a part of the DeSoto County, MS school district. Our current grade span is kindergarten through second grade.

DeSoto County School District is an "A" school district, the highest accreditation level with the Mississippi Department of Education. The diversity of our student body reflects the diversity of our community. We are located next to a large metropolitan area; however, Southaven has been able to maintain the values and atmosphere of small town life.

We love our community, which is a mirror reflection of our school! We are very proud of our school, students, and staff. Come and check us out! Call our Guidance Counselor at 662.912.1300 to schedule a tour.
