Kaplan High School

BIG NEWS FROM PIRATE COUNTRY Kaplan High School is proud to announce the appointment of our new school counselor, Ms. Mia Boullion! If you know Mia, you already know this: she is an absolute treasure. A Pirate through and through, Ms. Boullion brings unmatched passion, grit, and heart to everything she does. From leading pep rallies and coaching cheer to teaching Business and Media Arts with excellence, she has already left her mark on this campus, and we’re just getting started. With seven years of teaching experience and a fierce work ethic, she has built a reputation rooted in trust, compassion, and a relentless commitment to our students and staff. She’s the kind of educator who shows up early, stays late, and pours her all into every student interaction. Now, as our counselor, she will have the opportunity to make an even deeper impact, helping students navigate academics, emotions, and life with empathy and purpose. We couldn't be more excited about what’s ahead. Join us in congratulating Ms. Boullion as she steps into this important new role. Pirate Nation is lucky to have her, and even luckier to grow under her care. #UNSTOPPABLE #KaplanHigh #PiratePride
