Congratulations to Hunter Packard, who was elected Louisiana State Beta President at the annual State Beta Convention, and what unfolded on that stage is something our Pirate family will never forget.
With his campaign theme, “Roll with Hunter, Feel the Thunder,” Hunter didn’t just present; he commanded the arena. From the moment his skit began to the final words of his speech, the energy inside the building surged. The crowd rose with him. The noise was deafening. Tiger Stadium was a few miles away, but Hunter gave them a run for their money with his energy and passion.
In a venue packed with the best student leaders from across Louisiana, Hunter Packard rose above them all. His election to State Beta President is not just a personal achievement; it is a defining moment for Kaplan High School.
Hunter, you carried the Pirate name with strength, pride, and thunder. We could not be prouder of you and the legacy you continue to build.
Hunter is truly UNSTOPPABLE. 🏴☠️
This area must remain clear to ensure the safe arrival of our bus riders and the safe entry of students walking into the building. When vehicles use this space for drop off, it creates serious safety concerns and disrupts our established procedures designed to protect every student.
All student drop offs must take place in the designated drop off areas only. Your cooperation is essential in helping us maintain a safe and orderly campus environment.
Thank you for your continued support in keeping our students safe. 🏴☠️

It's National School Counselor Week!
This week, we proudly celebrate our unbelievable counselor, Ms. Mia Boullion. From day one, Ms. Mia has proven herself to be a true Pirate. Her work ethic is unmatched, her heart for kids is genuine, and her presence has already made our school stronger.
She is deeply loved by both students and staff, and she never hesitates to go the extra mile, whether it is supporting students, assisting teachers, or showing up for Cheer and extracurricular events. To call her the soft heartbeat of our school is still an understatement.
Ms. Mia’s rise in education has been quick, but that comes from passion, drive, and an unwavering commitment to doing what is right for kids.
We are ALL better because of her, and we are grateful to have her leading, serving, and loving our Pirate family.
We love you, Ms. Mia. 🏴☠️
