🏴☠️
SOME DAYS REMIND US JUST HOW SPECIAL OUR LITTLE COMMUNITY REALLY IS.
Today was one of those days.
There is a reason our principal, Coach Shay Herpin, considers JamBOOlaya one of his favorite days of the entire school year. It isn't just about the food, the fundraiser, or the hundreds of plates that leave our campus. It's about PEOPLE. It's about COMMUNITY. And most importantly, it's about OUR KIDS.
To every single person who purchased a JamBOOlaya ticket, whether you bought one plate or enough to feed your entire workplace, THANK YOU. You may have thought you were simply buying lunch, but you were doing something so much bigger. You were investing in the students and teachers of Kaplan High School. And that means more to us than you will ever know.
To our incredible staff members and community volunteers who showed up early, rolled up their sleeves, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes, we hope you know how much you are appreciated. There is something truly magical about watching people give up their Saturday, not because they have to, but because they genuinely care about this school and the people in it. THAT is what makes today so special.
And to Chef Dylan Roussel and his crew who helped make the cooking happen, thank you for sharing your time, your talents, and your hearts with our Pirate family!
Perhaps the most beautiful part of this entire day is knowing that every bit of the proceeds goes right back into supporting our students and teachers. That is the chef's kiss of it all! ❤️
We often talk about what makes Kaplan High School special, but days like today give us the opportunity to actually SEE it. It's in the hands that prepare the food, the smiles of those serving, the community members who drive through to show their support, and the people who stay until the very last thing is cleaned up.
We never take any of it for granted. Not one ticket. Not one helping hand. Not one act of kindness.
From Coach Shay and our entire Kaplan High School family, thank you for believing in our school, loving our students, supporting our teachers, and reminding us once again why we are so proud to call Kaplan HOME.
Today wasn't just a successful fundraiser. It was a LEGENDARY reminder of what happens when an entire community shows up for its children.
And for that, we are forever grateful.
LEGENDS ARE MADE RIGHT HERE. 🏴☠️

💛🖤 A DAY OF SMILES, CELEBRATION, AND UNFORGETTABLE MOMENTS! 🖤💛 Today, Kaplan High School had the honor of hosting Special Olympics, and what an incredible day it was! ❤️ From the determination of the athletes to the cheers of encouragement from the sidelines, every moment reminded us what makes this event so meaningful. We witnessed perseverance, sportsmanship, friendship, and the pure joy of celebrating every accomplishment. To all of our participating schools, THANK YOU for joining us and allowing us to share in the excitement of your athletes’ achievements. It was a privilege to welcome you to KHS! To our KHS student volunteers, we are incredibly proud of you! You gave your time, offered encouragement, celebrated victories, and made sure our guests felt welcomed and supported. The compassion and leadership you demonstrated today represent the very best of Kaplan High School. You made a difference, and we hope you know just how much that matters! 🖤💛 A very special shoutout to Mrs. Ellen Arceneaux and our very own Mrs. Mary Pat, whose hard work and dedication made this event possible! From organizing to coordinating all the details, Mrs. Ellen and Mrs. Mary Pat worked tirelessly to create a memorable experience for everyone involved. Thank you, Mrs. Ellen and Mrs. Mary Pat, for the care and commitment you put into making this day a success. We are so fortunate to have you in our KHS family! ❤️ While the ribbons recognize accomplishments, the true significance of today was found in the confidence of an athlete crossing the finish line, the excitement of hearing their name cheered, and the pride of knowing an entire crowd was rooting for them. To every athlete who competed today, YOU were the stars of the show! Your determination, courage, and enthusiasm gave us so much to celebrate. Days like today remind us that being LEGENDARY isn’t just about winning. It’s about showing up, giving your best, encouraging one another, and never giving up. One school. One community.

🍦💛 SWEET SUCCESS AT KHS! 🖤🏴☠️
Now THIS is something worth celebrating!! 🎉
During the first nine weeks, 57 Kaplan High School students achieved PERFECT ATTENDANCE! These students were recognized for their commitment to showing up each and every day with a delicious ice cream treat and a sweet note of encouragement and positive affirmation! 🍦💌
But the good news doesn’t stop there!!
📣 KAPLAN HIGH SCHOOL HAD THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF GROWTH IN ATTENDANCE IN THE ENTIRE DISTRICT FOR THE FIRST NINE WEEKS! 👏👏
That is something our entire Pirate family can be proud of! Attendance matters, and every single day our students show up is another opportunity to learn, grow, connect, and succeed.
We are SO proud of our students for making attendance a priority, and we appreciate our families, faculty, and staff for the encouragement and support that help make this possible!
57 students with perfect attendance, district-leading attendance growth, and a Pirate family that keeps showing up! 💛🖤
Let’s keep this positive momentum going into the second nine weeks! Our Pirates are proving that when it comes to showing up and making every day count, WE ARE LEGENDARY! 💪

Our Louisiana FCCLA Fall Rally was filled with leadership, learning, new connections, and exciting opportunities! ❤️💙 Members explored all that FCCLA has to offer through engaging breakout sessions, hands-on activities, teamwork, and a little friendly competition.
Making a difference, one story at a time! Our members also participated in a service project promoting child literacy, helping support the importance of reading and encouraging a love of books among young readers. Through this project, students put FCCLA’s spirit of service into action while helping build brighter futures in their communities.
From discovering leadership opportunities to finding meaningful ways to serve others, our members took important steps in their FCCLA journeys. We can’t wait to see how they take what they learned and turn it into action back at their schools!
Every great story starts somewhere, and we’re excited to see what our FCCLA members write next! 📚✨
