What LaFayette High School does

LaFayette High School is a public secondary school operating within the Lafayette Parish School System (LPSS), a government-run K-12 district headquartered in Lafayette, Louisiana. The school serves students in grades 9-12 and is one of nine high schools within LPSS, which collectively educates nearly 30,000 students across PreK-12 and employs over 4,000 staff. LaFayette High offers college preparatory coursework, career and technical education pathways, and specialized academies including a French Immersion Academy and a Health Academy, alongside extracurricular activities, athletics, and student support services.

The school's technology infrastructure is inherited from the district and relies on standard K-12 platforms rather than proprietary systems. Core tools include Google Workspace for Education, the JCampus student information system (via EdGear) for grades, attendance, and the Parent Portal, SchoolCash for fee payments, MySchoolApps for meal benefit applications, Follett Destiny for library management, Renaissance Learning's Accelerated Reader, Applitrack for recruitment, BoardDocs for governance, and the SMARTS technology assistance program that distributes Chromebooks and provides internet access support. The district's web presence is hosted on SchoolStatus Sites.

LaFayette High School is funded entirely through public sources—local property taxes, Louisiana state education funding, and federal grants including Title I and IDEA—with no tuition charged to families. The school is governed by the Lafayette Parish School Board under Superintendent Francis Touchet, Jr., and operates under the oversight of the Louisiana Department of Education. LPSS has been recognized as the #1 large school system in Louisiana and recorded the highest K-3 reading proficiency growth (18.7 percentage points) among large Louisiana districts during the 2025-2026 school year.
