Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

This Memorial Day, we pause to reflect on the courage, service, and selflessness of those who gave their lives in defense of our freedoms. At Lafayette Preparatory Academy, we are grateful for their sacrifice and the families who continue to carry their legacy.

Wishing our LPA community a safe and meaningful Memorial Day.

Hey hey LPA — what an incredible Field Day!
Our students and staff had an absolute blast enjoying the beautiful weather and all the fun throughout the day. From snow cones and obstacle courses to bubbles, laughter, hugs, and unforgettable memories, the joy was everywhere you looked!
We love these yearly traditions that bring our entire community together and make LPA such a special place to be.

Shoutout to Ms. Carlin and Ms. Sanders—just two of the many incredible educators who make our school such a special place. Their passion, creativity, and commitment to our students show up every single day, and we are so lucky to have them on our team.

Staff Appreciation Week is just one small moment to recognize what they do all year long—going above and beyond, pouring into our kids, and building a community where everyone belongs.
