KAPLAN — Seventeen year old Emma Broussard is an independent high school student.
Her morning routine is conventional. The alarm rings, she gets into the shower, gets dressed and makes it to breakfast. She drives her younger sister to René Rost Middle then gets to Kaplan High to start her school day.
Emma is a 4.0 student in a Core 4 program, meaning she plans to study at the university after graduation.

There is a big change coming to Abbeville High, but don’t expect it to lead to too many changes around the school.
Vermilion Parish Superintendent Jerome Puyau has announced that Lyndelle Theriot has been named the principal at Abbeville High School.
She is the school’s first female principal.
Theriot has spent the last five years as an assistant principal at the school. She will take over for Ivy Landry, who is stepping down after six years to pursue other options. Landry is expected to take another position at the school.
“I am really excited,” Theriot said.
