Captain Shreve High School has been named a 2024-25 Project Lead The Way (PLTW) Distinguished School. The district’s largest school is among a select group of high schools across the U.S. to be recognized for their commitment to inspiring and engaging their students to unlock their potential through the PLTW program.
Only four high school statewide earned the recognition for the 2024-2025 school year. PLTW is a national nonprofit organization that creates transformative learning experiences and empowers students to develop in-demand knowledge and skills for future careers.
"Being named a Project Lead The Way Distinguished School is an honor for Captain Shreve and a reflection of the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, and staff,” said Captain Shreve Principal Bryant Sepulvado. “This recognition affirms our commitment to preparing students not just for graduation, but for success in college, career and in life. Through PLTW, our students are building real-world skills in STEM and beyond. They learn to collaborate, think critically and solve complex problems. We’re proud to be one of only four high schools in Louisiana to receive this distinction and even prouder of the life-changing opportunities we’re creating for our Gators every day."
The PLTW Distinguished School recognition honors schools committed to increasing student access, engagement, and achievement in the PLTW programs. To be eligible for the designation, Captain Shreve had to meet multiple criteria in the 2023-24 school year such as number of PLTW courses available to students, percent of students enrolled in PLTW, and percent of students taking more than one PLTW course.
“We are proud to honor Captain Shreve High School for their commitment to providing students with exceptional educational experiences through PLTW programs,” said Dr. David Dimmett, PLTW President and CEO. "This achievement celebrates their dedication to student achievement and their focus on empowering students with the knowledge and skills necessary for success in school and a wide range of post-secondary opportunities.”
PLTW high school programs prepare today’s students for the careers of tomorrow, by not only incorporating STEM skills into their learning but building students’ collaboration, teamwork and communication skills so they can be ready for whatever path they take.
Captain Shreve is part of a community comprised of PreK-12 schools, colleges and universities, and corporate and philanthropic partners across the country united around a commitment to providing students with inspiring, engaging, and empowering learning opportunities.
