MANSFIELD, La. — Upgrades are on the way for athletic facilities at Mansfield High School. 

The DeSoto Parish School Board on Thursday approved a $5.5 million capital improvement project to improve baseball, softball and football facilities. 

“Our core value of high performance drives every decision we make, and this project is a testament to that commitment,” said Superintendent Clay Corley. “By providing state-of-the-art facilities for our student-athletes, we are ensuring that they have the tools needed to excel. It is a blessing that we can complete these upgrades with available funds without having to raise revenue with a bond or additional tax measures. This not only allows us to continue our mission of excellence but also reflects the sound financial stewardship of our district.”

Project Scope:

Covered practice facility

A new covered pavilion structure will include synthetic turf, nets, and lighting for year-round training and practice. The facility will also feature necessary site work, including fencing and paving, ensuring a fully equipped and secure environment for MHS athletes and auxiliary groups. Located between Kings Highway and the district facilities and operations building, this addition will allow multi-sport use, offering protection from inclement weather and optimizing practice conditions, district officials said.
