The halls may be a little quieter this week, but our Pirate Band has been hard at work preparing for an incredible season.
Congratulations to every member of the Kaplan High Pirate Band on completing Band Camp! Through the Louisiana heat, long rehearsals, and countless hours of practice, these students showed determination, teamwork, and the commitment it takes to represent Kaplan High with pride. We couldn't be more proud of the work they've put in.
A special thank you to Mayor Mike Kloesel for treating our students to pizza, and to Ms. Linda Vincent for the snowballs that helped everyone cool off after a long week. Your generosity is a wonderful reminder that our community stands behind these talented young musicians.
It truly takes a village to build something special, and we are grateful to everyone who poured into our Pirate Band this week. We cannot wait to watch this group take the field and make our school proud all season long.
Congratulations, Pirate Band! Your Kaplan High family is cheering you on every step of the way.

Today, a group of our incredible Pirates met with Mr. Chauvin for an honest, student-led conversation about what learning really looks like at Kaplan High School.
They shared what helps them learn best, the barriers they sometimes face in the classroom, how technology fits into their learning, the instructional practices that make the biggest impact, and what the overall high school experience means to them. Their voices, ideas, and perspectives will help shape the future of teaching and learning at KHS.
The best schools don’t just teach students. They listen to them.
A huge thank you to these outstanding Pirates for being willing to speak openly, think deeply, and help us continue building something truly LEGENDARY. The future of Kaplan High is brighter because of you! 🏴☠️

Kaplan High School is incredibly proud to celebrate one of our own, Mrs. Courtney Broussard!
Tomorrow, Mrs. Broussard will take the stage at the 2nd Annual Ed Tech Conference, where she will present "Thinking In Color," an innovative session focused on using color-coded Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (CER) annotation to strengthen student metacognition and academic writing.
Her interactive presentation will showcase practical strategies that help students organize their thinking, analyze the structure of their responses, and develop stronger, more meaningful writing across all content areas.
At Kaplan High, we believe legendary educators never stop learning, growing, and sharing their expertise with others. Mrs. Broussard represents that spirit every day, and we couldn't be more excited to see her sharing her passion and knowledge with fellow educators from across the state.
Congratulations, Mrs. Broussard! Thank you for representing Kaplan High School with excellence and for helping shape the future of teaching and learning. We know you'll do an outstanding job!
