These incredible young women have been selected to attend Girls State, a prestigious leadership program sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary that brings together top students from across the state to build a fully functioning mock government. During this experience, they will campaign, vote, debate, and lead, gaining a deep understanding of how our government works while developing confidence, leadership skills, and a strong sense of civic responsibility.
This is more than just a summer program. This is history in the making. This is where future leaders find their voice, sharpen their vision, and begin making an impact that reaches far beyond high school.
Being selected for Girls State is a LIFE-CHANGING honor, and each of these students represents the very best of Kaplan High School. Their drive, intelligence, and leadership have set them apart, and we cannot wait to see how they rise to the challenge.
Kaplan High School continues to produce leaders who are not just prepared for the future but ready to shape it.
Once again, congratulations to these exceptional young women. The future is bright, and the Pirate Nation is behind you every step of the way. 🏴☠️

The Golden Band from Pirateland just did it AGAIN.
A HUGE congratulations to the Kaplan High School Concert Band for earning a 1 on stage and a 1 in sightreading, bringing home a Sweepstakes Award at District Assessment.
That level of performance does not happen by chance. It comes from discipline, preparation, and a commitment to excellence every single day. These students walked in prepared, performed with confidence, and delivered when it mattered most.
This is what UNSTOPPABLE looks like.
We are proud of every student and director who made this moment happen. You represented Kaplan High School the right way, and you set the standard for what it means to be the Golden Band from Pirateland.

Kaplan High School is showing OUT at the Vermilion Parish Student Arts Expo, and we could not be more proud! 🎭🎶🎨
Our Pirates are taking the stage in multiple performances, showcasing their incredible talent, hard work, and passion for the arts. From music to visual art to live performances, they are representing KHS in a BIG way and proving that our students are truly Unstoppable.

Last night, our track team didn’t just compete… they rewrote the record books.
School Record Breakers
4x800 Relay Team
Lexi Greene, Riley Hebert, Izzy Hargrave, Liberty Greene
⏱ 9:57.64
And that wasn’t all…
We also broke the school record in the 4x400!
This is what happens when preparation meets pride, when discipline meets determination, and when a team decides that average is not enough.
Our athletes are raising the standard and proving that at Kaplan High, we don’t chase excellence… we set it.
Keep pushing. Keep breaking barriers. Keep being UNSTOPPABLE.

Today, our Pirate family took a moment to recharge together as we celebrated Power Up Week with a staff luncheon that did not disappoint!
From a fully loaded baked potato soup to a fresh house salad and warm breadsticks, everything was set up to give our staff the fuel they need as we push forward. But more than the food, it was the energy in the room, the laughter, and the smiles that truly stood out.
This is a critical stretch as we move closer to Spring Break and continue preparing our students for LEAP testing. Moments like this remind us that when we take care of each other, we show up even stronger for our kids.
We’re locked in, we’re focused, and we’re ready to finish strong.
#Unstoppable 🏴☠️
