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. ☠️




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.

This isn’t just a meal, it’s a movement for our Pirate family. Here’s what you need to know:
A big pot of delicious jambalaya cooked fresh by Mr. Dylan Roussel
A Bake Sale filled with homemade love
And of course, some “jammin’” music to bring our community together
💥 NEW: It’s now a class competition! 💥
Let’s see which class can bring in the most sales.
📅 Deadline: All orders are due Thursday, October 24.
This is our BIG push month, don’t wait!
Why it matters:
Every plate sold goes right back into our students and staff. Funds support student incentives like CLEP testing opportunities that open doors for their future, and teacher incentives that remind our staff how much we appreciate them.
Our Pirates give their all every day—this is our chance to give back and show what makes Kaplan High UNSTOPPABLE.
