KHS Football Game Safety Expectations
The safety of our students and community is our top priority. Recently, we have had too many children running around the stadium unattended, especially under the bleachers. This is unsafe and will no longer be allowed.
Effective immediately:
Parents are expected to watch their children at all times during the game.
No middle school or elementary student will be allowed to purchase a ticket without a parent present.
All high school students must show their current school ID at the gate. No exceptions.
No student is allowed to sit in the reserved ticket section unless they have a reserved ticket. Any student found in this section without a ticket will be asked by a police officer to leave the game.
We want our football games to remain a safe and enjoyable environment for everyone. Thank you for helping us make this possible.☠️

Today, Kaplan High School celebrated a moment years in the making with the Unveiling of the Turf Field. Kaplan Elementary and FIEB joined the Class of 2026 for the first official running of the field, and it was a sight to remember. Tears were shed as our Kaplan High students and staff cheered from the stands, watching the next generation of Pirates take those first steps.
A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Dan Dartez and Superintendent Tommy Byler for making this the very first turf field in Vermilion Parish, and to Mrs. Kimberly Etie for bringing this unforgettable idea forward to our admin team.
We are grateful to see the community come together in such a powerful way. Today proved once again that we are forever Pirate strong and community strong. 🏴☠️

What a night at Kaplan High School!
Our gym was packed with parents and students for Open House and the community pep rally.
The Mighty Pirates brought the energy, and under the leadership of our new head coach, John Thompson, the spirit was unstoppable!
Parents had the chance to meet our teachers, hear about our school goals, and learn more about what it means to be UNSTOPPABLE this year. The students were lit up with excitement, and the pride in Pirate Nation was felt everywhere.
It was truly a night to remember, and now the countdown is on. Friday Night Lights are just a couple of days away, and we can all feel the momentum of an unstoppable year ahead! 🏴

🎶 We’re jammin’, we’re jammin’, and we hope you like jammin’ too! 🎶
Kaplan, it’s time to come together for our Jammin’ Jambalaya Fundraiser on Saturday, November 1st at KHS!
🔥 A big pot of delicious jambalaya cooked by Mr. Dylan Roussel
🍰 A Bake Sale filled with homemade love
🎶And yes, we will be playing some "jammin" music as we bring our community together
This isn’t just a fundraiser, it’s about taking care of our Pirate family. Every plate sold fuels student incentives like CLEP testing opportunities that give our kids a brighter future, and teacher incentives that remind our staff how much we appreciate them.
Our students and teachers give their all every single day, and this is our chance to give back. With your support, we’ll make Kaplan High stronger, prouder, and more UNSTOPPABLE than ever.
👉 Tickets are available now through KHS students, and the public can also order online here:
https://osp.osmsinc.com/VermilionLA/BVModules/ProductTemplates/Bvc2013/Product.aspx?productid=VU013-269
When this community shows up for its kids, there’s nothing we can’t do.
Join us on November 1st for food, fun, and Pirate pride.
Let’s rock this JAMMIN’ JAMBALAYA fundraiser, because like Bob Marley said, 🎶 “We’re jammin’, to think that jammin’ was a thing of the past, we’re jammin’, and we’re jammin’ to make it last!” 🎶
