We are cultivating DeSoto Independent School District to launch our first MacMillan Academy® High School department in a neighborhood school.

All donations to this campaign will be “Founding Gifts” toward the creation of MacMillan Academies in DeSoto ISD schools with appropriate and permanent recognition within DeSoto ISD and also in all MacMillan Institute documents and publications.

“Founding Gifts” will be associated explicitly with the founding of these MacMillan Academies as “Models for the Nation.”
