In Mansfield, we understand the importance of our youth to our future.  Perhaps, they have the most to lose. Living with the decisions and actions of the past while working to create a more a sustainable future is one of the greatest challenges our youth will face in their lifetime. That's why we are proud of our schools and the numerous programs and organizations in Mansfield and DeSoto Parish that reach out to embrace our children exposing them to knowledge and skills that will allow them to become leaders of change in their homes, schools, neighborhoods and in the community at-large.
