RPSB extended its congratulations to Emma T., a foreign exchange student from Germany at Rapides High School, for winning the 2024 LHSAA Prep Classic Poster Contest.
With guidance from her art teacher, Patricia Starling, Emma created a vibrant work of art capturing Louisiana’s unique culture—despite never visiting the state before her exchange year.
Emma, along with her host family, Principal Jeff Hickman, and Mrs. Starling, will be honored during halftime at the Superdome and will have all-access passes to the LHSAA Prep Classic– not to mention watching the game from a suite in the Dome.
Emma has also won free Cane’s for a year. RPSB expressed pride for and encouragement to Emma for stepping out of her comfort zone and showcasing her incredible talent. She beat over 200 entries statewide. This is an unforgettable moment for her and for the district.
