Lafayette, LA (Feburary 24, 2026) – Lafayette Parish School System is proud to announce that Lafayette High School senior Lincoln Trumps has been selected as a finalist for the 2026 Louisiana Student of the Year.

“Lincoln’s achievement reflects not only his dedication and hard work, but also the strong support system at Lafayette High and within his family,” said LPSS Superintendent Francis Touchet, Jr. “We are incredibly proud of him and look forward to celebrating this well-deserved recognition.”
Congratulations, Lincoln!
