💙🎉 As we conclude our Administrator Spotlight series, it is only fitting that we save our final feature for the leader who inspires, challenges, and champions our Charger family every day. We are proud to shine the spotlight on our incredible principal, Mrs. Istre, whose dedication to our students, staff, and school community continues to leave a lasting impact.🎉💙

"As Principal of Lake Charles Charter Academy, I am excited to welcome our new and returning families to another incredible year at LCCA!

At LCCA, we believe that every child deserves to be known, challenged, supported, and celebrated. Our commitment to Leadership, Character, Commitment, and Achievement is at the heart of everything we do as we work together to help every Charger reach their full potential.

This year, we are focused on continuing to build our Charger Legacy—one rooted in high expectations, strong relationships, academic excellence, and a school community where everyone belongs.

To our families, thank you for choosing LCCA and trusting us with your children. Your partnership matters, and together we will make this a year filled with learning, growth, memorable moments, and GREATNESS!

We are FOUR HOUSES. ONE FAMILY. ONE LCCA.
And together, we are working toward our vision of being the #1 educational choice in Calcasieu Parish!

💙🖤 We are Chargers!
LEAD. LEARN. LOVE."

🌟 Admin Spotlight Week: Mr. Franklin Shaw 🌟
As we continue our Admin Spotlight Week, we're proud to recognize Franklin Shaw, our Dean of Discipline and Athletic Director! Mr. Shaw is dedicated to supporting, guiding, and mentoring our students as they grow into successful leaders. We are excited to have him as part of our leadership team and appreciate the positive impact he makes on our Chargers every day.

"I truly enjoy working with our Chargers each day, helping them develop a greater understanding of how to navigate life while increasing their awareness of the importance of education.

One of the main focuses of our Behavior Team is to support, guide, and mentor our students as they navigate the early stages of their journey. We want them to understand that the choices and decisions they make today can have a meaningful impact on the paths they take tomorrow.

Our goal is not simply to address behavior, but to help students grow, develop accountability, learn from their experiences, and make choices that move them toward success.

To our students and staff: Welcome back!"

“LET’S CONTINUE TO CHARGE OUR WAY INTO A FUTURE FILLED WITH SUCCESSFUL CHARGERS!”

!!!

-Franklin D. Shaw,
