Committees Driving LAAP’s Mission

Our committees bring together dedicated members who guide the Louisiana Academy of Production’s vision, operations, and growth. From academic excellence to community engagement, each committee plays a vital role in shaping the future of our school. Meet the leaders and contributors who help us deliver an exceptional education.

School committees are an essential part of how LAAP operates, ensuring that every decision reflects our mission, values, and commitment to excellence in education. Committees provide a space for collaboration between educators, administrators, board members, and community partners, allowing us to address important topics with care and expertise.

Whether focused on curriculum development, student success, community outreach, or operational planning, each committee plays a vital role in guiding the school’s direction. These groups work behind the scenes to review initiatives, evaluate progress, and recommend actions that strengthen both our programs and our culture.


The members of our committees bring diverse experiences and perspectives, helping LAAP remain a place where creativity thrives, students are supported, and our community stays engaged.
