We are so proud to celebrate Kaplan High School senior Lily Perrin for being named the 2025 Junior Cattleman of the Year by the Louisiana Cattle Festival!
Lily’s passion for agriculture runs generations deep. As a sixth-generation cattle rancher, she raises and shows registered Herefords and Hereford-cross beef cattle, always striving for quality genetics that produce top-quality beef. Her leadership is just as strong. She serves as Class of 2026 President, President of the KHS FFA Chapter, Senior Captain of the Gold Dance Team, and has been a driving force in 4-H, Beta Club, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Key Club, and more.
Her achievements have taken her from local barns to national competitions, and she continues to represent Kaplan and Vermilion Parish with pride, work ethic, and heart. This honor is even more special as she shares the Cattle Festival spotlight with her grandfather, Randall Perrin, this year’s King.
Congratulations, Lily, on this incredible recognition. You are proof that Pirates are truly UNSTOPPABLE. 🏴☠️

Pirate Nation, big news!
We are beyond excited to introduce our new Head Football Coach, Mr. John Thompson! Coach Thompson is ready to lead our Pirates with passion, integrity, and a commitment to the winning traditions and high standards that have made Friday night lights in Kaplan something truly special.
In his own words, Coach Thompson shared, "I’m a Vermilion Parish boy, and Kaplan to me is the pinnacle of high school sports in the public school sector and something I always wanted to be a part of."
Let’s give Coach Thompson a warm Pirate welcome as we continue to build on our legacy and charge full speed ahead into a new era.

We are officially off and running this week, showing our community exactly what it means to be UNSTOPPABLE.
Ms. Erika’s English IV class kicked things off with their first gallery walk, where students engaged in self-reflection to identify their writing strengths and areas for growth.
We love seeing our Pirates actively involved in learning activities that push them to think deeper and aim higher. With Ms. Erika’s theatrical background, English IV just leveled up this year! 🏴

Today marked the official first day back for ALL of the incredible teachers and staff of Kaplan High School! From laughter and shared memories to classroom prep and team planning, it was a day filled with purpose and pride.
We rolled out the deeper meaning behind this year’s school theme UNSTOPPABLE, and it’s already clear that our team is fired up and ready to meet this moment.
A delicious crawfish fettuccine lunch brought everyone together as we reconnected, refocused, and recharged for what’s to come.
The energy is real, and the halls are about to come alive again.
We can’t wait to welcome our students back on Friday. Let’s make this year one they’ll never forget.
