The Class of 2031's First Time on Campus as a Class On March 24, we rolled out the green and white carpet for our newest Chipmunks and their families at Green & White Welcome Night! Our incoming 8th graders were officially introduced for the very first time as the Class of 2031 and received their class t-shirts...a moment that made everything feel real! As they sat together as a class, it was a beautiful reminder that the girls beside them now will be the same ones beside them at graduation. Parents heard from our school leaders, getting a first-hand look at what to expect over the next five years as their daughters begin their high school journeys at Chapelle. The evening offered a glimpse into the academics, faith, friendships, and traditions that make Chapelle so special. What a beautiful night of Chipmunk Spunk! We cannot wait to officially welcome these Future Chips to campus.

Celebrating Excellence: ScholarChip Reception 2026 Archbishop Chapelle High School was honored to celebrate 14 exceptional young women at this year’s ScholarChip Reception, an evening dedicated to recognizing academic excellence, leadership, and the bright futures ahead of our newest scholarship recipients. The evening began in prayer, led by Connie Dantagnan ’88, Head of School, who asked God’s blessings upon the students and their families as they begin this new chapter. In her remarks, Mrs. Dantagnan welcomed the recipients and shared her pride in their accomplishments, noting that nearly $300,000 in scholarships will be awarded to these young women over the next five years. She reminded families that these students represent the very best of what a Chapelle girl embodies — intelligence, leadership, faith, and a commitment to excellence — and expressed her confidence that this will not be the last scholarship they earn. Associate Head of School Mrs. Susan Panzavecchia then addressed the crowd, encouraging the recipients to approach their time at Chapelle with steadfast commitment, a diligent work ethic, and a positive attitude. She emphasized the strong academic support system at Chapelle and challenged the girls to embrace every opportunity that comes their way.
