DeSoto ISD Magnet and Innovative Programs features over two dozen programs from elementary through high school that allows our students to choose a course of study with innovative approaches to learning. Magnet schools have a curriculum that emphasizes a particular educational focus such as: engineering, science, technology or the arts. A magnet school opens doors of opportunity and sparks the imagination of students, preparing them to become responsible citizens in a global society.
