Do you know a student who loves to sing, dance, and perform?
Then the Kaplan High School Performing Arts camp is the perfect place for them to shine!
Our camp offers students a chance to explore theatre arts in a fun, supportive, and creative environment.
Whether you’re a seasoned performer or brand new to the stage, you’ll build confidence, teamwork, and imagination through exciting activities like:
🎭 Acting and Improv Games
🎤 Voice and Singing
Choreography
By the end of camp, students will have developed new skills, friendships, and a deeper appreciation for the art of storytelling — both on and off the stage!

Our Kaplan Pirates made a strong showing today at the BETA Leadership Summit held at the Cajundome in Lafayette, LA!
Our BETAs had an incredible time connecting, learning, and leading with other chapters across the state. They especially shined in Collaboration Connection, answering an impressive 18 out of 20 questions correctly!
We could not be more proud of their teamwork, spirit, and leadership. Congrats to our unstoppable BETAs; you continue to show what it means to be a Pirate! 🏴
October is National Principals Month, a time set aside to honor the leaders who guide our schools with vision, courage, and heart.
At Kaplan High School, we are proud to recognize our principal, Coach Shay Herpin. His leadership is built on integrity, a relentless work ethic, and an unwavering commitment to every Pirate. From celebrating student success to supporting teachers and staff, Coach Shay keeps our school moving forward and reminds us daily what it means to be UNSTOPPABLE.
Join us this month in thanking Coach Shay for the countless ways he leads, serves, and inspires our Pirate family. We are proud to call him our principal. ☠️

When it comes to LEAP goal setting, we can't forget our Civic's teacher, Mrs. Tori Broussard!!!! Ms. Tori has been raising the rigor in her LEAP class this year by pushing students to unpack DBQs, which require critical thinking skills, and she does it in such a FUN way. WTG Mrs. Tori
Our LEAP teachers are on FIRE as we charge into the 2025–2026 school year! 🔥
Every single one of them has set bold goals for proficiency and beyond, determined to raise the bar for our students. Their passion, their focus, and their commitment to “upping their game” is what makes Kaplan High unstoppable.
This isn’t just about test scores—it’s about believing in our kids, pushing them to new heights, and showing them that the sky isn’t the limit… It’s just the beginning.
We are proud of our teachers, inspired by their drive, and confident that together, we will keep climbing, keep striving, and keep winning for our students.
