🎺🇺🇸 MACA Student Spotlight! 🇺🇸🎺 We are proud to showcase our very own MACA Band student, Gabriella H., who performed on Friday at the St. Landry Parish Veterans Memorial for Wreaths Across America. The performance was a beautiful tribute honoring our nation’s veterans, and we are so proud of the talent, respect, and professionalism she displayed while representing MACA. Thank you, Gabriella, for using your gift to honor those who served.

See what's going on at MACA for the week of December 15-19, 2025. 💙💛

🎁💙 Spreading Holiday Cheer! Our Student Government, in partnership with the Opelousas Rotary Club, organized a heartwarming initiative to bring joy and comfort to nursing home residents. The Shoppe D’Noël Care Packages for Seniors drive was a beautiful example of our students giving back and supporting our community. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this project a success! 🌟

The Beta Club held its annual induction ceremony on Friday, December 5, welcoming its newest members into the organization. Parents, guardians, and all current members were invited to attend this special event in celebration of academic excellence, leadership, and service.

During the ceremony, the club proudly recognized not only newly inducted students but also all transferring members who have joined the school’s chapter this year. Their accomplishments and commitment to the values of Beta Club were honored alongside the new inductees.

The event served as a meaningful reminder of the importance of scholarship, character, and community involvement, and the Beta Club looks forward to the positive impact these students will continue to make throughout the year.

From leading the parade while carrying the parade flag, to dressing as fan-favorite characters like princesses, minions, and even an elf, our students brought the holiday spirit to life.
