Kinder High School is a senior high school in Kinder, Louisiana. It is a part of Allen Parish Public Schools.

History
The first school for white children in the area was established in the Green Oak community, located north of modern-day Kinder and just west of what would become the Coushatta Casino Resort. The one-room school was established around 1890 with a Professor Philbrick as its first schoolmaster. Kinder's first purpose-built schoolhouse was constructed in 1893 and the school graduated its first senior class in 1914. In 1878, Captain established the first school for local Black students in his home 4 miles north of Kinder and hiring Lawrence Shaw of Oklahoma as the school's teacher. In 1900, Captain deeded 2 acres of his own land to build a church house which also doubled as the school for Black students and one of his own daughters became the school's teacher. However, Carver High School would not permanently close until after the 1968–69 school year. ==Athletics==
