To the Moms, Dads and Students of DeSoto Secondary School:
My name is Jim Wright II, and I Have the great privilege of leading DeSoto Secondary School as the principal.
I served as a 2nd grade teacher at GRS at the Pleasant Grove campus for one year. I have also served as the principal at GRS at the Sunnyside campus for 5 years. During that time, in 2018, we won the prestigious National Blue Ribbon Award for closing the gaps in instruction. This will be my 19th year in the field of education and my 11th serving as a campus principal. Last year I served as the interim Asst. Superintendent while the school board chose a new Superintendent. I look forward to serving your students and you, as we work together to build a better Secondary School. I believe this will be a great year for your students and DSS, as we build toward a new High School.
I appreciate the opportunity to serve GRS as the leader of the DeSoto Secondary School, carrying the vision into the future. I look forward to hearing and meeting each of you this year
Respectfully submitted,
Jim W. Wright, II M.Ed.
