Kaplan High School

From our Pirate family to yours, we wish every member of our Pirate community a very Merry Christmas.

This season reminds us that school is more than a building. It is the people who fill it with laughter, grace, patience, and heart. Our students show resilience every day. Our teachers and staff who pour themselves into kids, even when it is hard. Our families and community who stand behind us with pride and unwavering support.

May this Christmas bring you rest, joy, and moments that slow time just enough to remind you what truly matters. Hold your people close, soak in the traditions, and know how grateful we are to walk this journey with you.

We are proud of our Pirates. We are thankful for our Pirate family. And together, we remain UNSTOPPABLE.

Merry Christmas

☕🎉 Ending the semester on a caffeinated high note! 🎉☕ Our faculty & staff were surprised with a Christmas coffee cart last Friday—just a small thank-you for the big impact they make every single day. 💙 A huge shoutout to our Sophomore Class for sponsoring this special treat and helping us wrap up the semester feeling appreciated, energized, and ready for the break ahead. Cheers to an amazing semester and an even better finish! ☕✨ #unstoppable #sophomoreclass #thanksalatte

🎄🧦 Spreading Christmas Cheer! 🧦🎄 Our KHS Student Council had the honor of visiting the Vermilion Healthcare Center to deliver socks and share some holiday joy with the residents this Christmas season. Moments like these remind us what the season is truly about—kindness, generosity, and community. ❤️ A huge THANK YOU to our Pirate community for your overwhelming support and generosity! Because of your donations to the Student Council Sock Drive, we were able to make this special visit possible and brighten so many smiles. 🎁 We are so proud of our students for leading with heart and grateful for everyone who helped make this act of service a success. Once a Pirate, always a Pirate! 🏴‍☠️🎄 #KHSPirates #StudentCouncil #SeasonOfGiving #ChristmasCheer #CommunityStrong #PiratePride

Christmas bingo at Kaplan High School never disappoints 🎄 Today our halls were filled with laughter, cheering, and pure holiday joy as students packed in for our annual Christmas Bingo tradition. And then it happened. When O67 was called, the room absolutely lost it. The laughter, the reactions, the excitement. It was something to behold and a moment we will be talking about for a long time. These are the moments that matter. Joy, connection, tradition, and kids simply being kids. We are proud of the spirit our students bring every day and especially during this special season. We wish our entire Pirate family a Merry Christmas, a happy holiday season, and a safe and restful break. Kaplan High School remains UNSTOPPABLE, even at bingo 🎄🏴‍☠️

Today, Mrs. Jamie’s Ag 3 class brought learning to life as students showcased the farm operations they designed for their midterm project. This was hands on, student driven learning at its best. Each student created a full business plan and a 3D model of their agricultural operation, and teachers had the chance to walk through, ask questions, and vote on their favorites.

This project perfectly reflects our schoolwide goal of engagement. Students were thinking, creating, problem-solving, and proudly explaining their work. When learning is active and meaningful, our students rise to the challenge.

Congratulations to our top finishers:
1st Place: Emma’s Pecan Paradise
2nd Place: Braydan’s Fig Factory
3rd Place: Lanie’s Hydroponic Farm and Salad Bar

We are proud of Mrs. Jamie and her students for showing what an unstoppable classroom looks like.

What a treat! 🍪✨ Our KHS Christmas Cookie Exchange Contest brought out the holiday spirit—and some incredible baking talent! 🎄 1st Place: Mrs. Jessica Campisi — Magic Cookie Bars 🎅 2nd Place: Mrs. Eva Lange — Red Velvet Cookies A close tie almost happened with Mrs. Jaime Hebert's incredible chocolate cookies!

Kaplan High School’s Key Club continues to live out the spirit of service. Under the leadership of Mrs. Jessica, our students delivered over 800 pounds of canned food to support the Kaplan Food Bank as part of the 2025 Food Net Food Drive. This effort helps support families right here in our own community and shows what it means to be truly unstoppable in giving back. We are proud of our students for stepping up and making a real difference in the lives of others. 🏴‍☠️

This morning, our amazing Kaplan High School Beta Club surprised our teachers with a hot cocoa bar. We are in the season of giving and love, and their thoughtful gesture brought plenty of holiday joy to our campus.

At Kaplan High School, we take care of our Pirate family.
Christmas came early as we gifted our AMAZING staff with custom-made Pirate Bogg Bags.

The smiles and joy were unforgettable!!!!!!

We must give a special thanks to Nicole Pellerin for making this amazing Christmas moment happen.
We LOVE our teachers SO much, and she KNEW how to deliver a holiday gift for the ages. So special.

Wishing all of our teachers a merry Christmas!

Kaplan High School students visited Central Office today for a behind-the-scenes look at the operations that keep Vermilion Parish School Board running smoothly. They learned how essential departments like technology, finance, transportation, child welfare, and leadership teams come together to support every school and every student in our district. We are grateful to our VPSB leaders for opening their doors and investing time in our future leaders. This experience gave our Pirates a deeper understanding of how decisions are made and how much planning goes into supporting public education each day 🏴‍☠️

Our incredible teachers were treated to a warm holiday surprise today with a fully loaded baked potato bar and delicious homemade bread pudding. We simply wanted to show our appreciation for the countless hours they pour into our students and the heart they bring to Kaplan High every single day. This season is the perfect reminder of how grateful we are for all they do to keep our school shining bright. Thank you for being the magic behind our success. ☠️

Who will wear the crown?

Due to the inclement weather, tonight's ACT Celebration at 6:00 pm has been canceled until further notice. Stay safe out there, Pirates.

Our Pirates are UNSTOPPABLE! Today, KHS students traveled to Unitech Training Academy with our ASA Mrs. Jaime Hebert to explore post-graduation pathways and hands-on career programs that can jumpstart their future! From healthcare and technical fields to early childhood and more, students learned about certifications, training timelines, and the skills needed to be successful in high-demand careers. After touring the campus, students enjoyed lunch at the Catalon Legacy Food Truck Park in Maurice, great food, fun atmosphere, and a chance to hang out and celebrate new possibilities! 🍔🎉 Experiences like this empower our Pirates to dream big, plan boldly, and pursue goals with confidence. It. Was. GREAT! College, career, or skilled trade, our students are preparing to CRUSH IT. 🏴‍☠️ #PiratePride #KHS #Unstoppable 📚✨ #CollegeAndCareerReady #FutureIsBright
