Welcome Students and Parents!

The position of Career Coach is new to DeSoto County Schools. The mission of each career coach is to prepare, expose and connect students to opportunities within each school and beyond.  Preparing students for their future by exposing them to new career opportunities happens through field trips, guest speakers and campus tours. Then we connect students with internships, field trips and one-on-one conversations with professionals. 

I look forward to working with you and your student!

Mrs. Hopper
