Of all that Archbishop Chapelle High School offers to our students and their families, the most important is a fundamental promise: to know and love every young lady for who she is.
Our promise means that we teach and mentor each student mindful of their interests and strengths, both inside and beyond the classroom. It means that we help each student on her way to becoming her true, her best, and her most fully realized self in a warm environment rooted in Catholicism.
As we guide our students to grow into confident and capable women, we know they will find a home in these halls. They will build bonds that will last a lifetime and carry fond memories with them always. We invite you to learn more about our home and see how truly special it is to be a Chip.

Presenting Our Gift to the Gayle & Tom Benson Cancer Center 💗💚 In April, Mrs. Benson personally invited our students to the Gayle & Tom Benson Cancer Center to present our Pink Month earnings to their leadership team. Walking into the Cancer Center with Mrs. Benson was a powerful experience for our students. It was more than just delivering a check. It was an opportunity to represent the heart of the Chapelle community and to see firsthand the impact of their efforts. Sharing that moment with the leadership team made the months of preparation and fundraising even more meaningful. Throughout Pink Month, our students worked tirelessly to raise funds in creative and spirited ways. They sold pink socks, the official Pink Month t-shirt, donuts, and pink lemonade, along with organizing other campus initiatives to support the cause. They also took time to write heartfelt notes and prayers of healing to oncology patients — messages that Mrs. Benson and her team truly loved and appreciated. Being able to stand together and formally present our donation was a beautiful reminder that small acts of generosity can come together to create something powerful. It was a proud day for our students and a reflection of Chapelle’s commitment to faith, compassion, and service. We are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to support the patients and programs at the Gayle & Tom Benson Cancer Center and proud of our Chipmunks for living out our mission in such a meaningful way.

It was the perfect opportunity for Chapelle’s Administration to personally meet our newest families and for parents to begin forming connections with the families of their daughters’ future classmates. Events like the Summer Soirée are a special reminder that Chapelle is more than a school — it is a community rooted in faith, friendship, and support. Watching new relationships begin to grow is always one of our favorite parts of the summer. We are so grateful to all who joined us and helped make the evening so meaningful.

Thank You, Mrs. Mandy Chochelese 💚💚💚 With grateful hearts, we celebrate and thank Mrs. Mandy Chochelese for her many years of dedicated service as the Founder and President of the Chapelle Grandparents Club. Mrs. Mandy founded the club in 2013 and lovingly led and grew it throughout all three of her granddaughters’ years at Chapelle. What began as a beautiful idea blossomed into a vibrant and meaningful part of our school community that has created lasting memories for students, faculty, and fellow grandparents. Under her leadership, the Grandparents Club has hosted countless Grandparents Treat Days, engaging meetings, spectacular "Lo-Stepper" performances, and so many special moments that have enriched life on campus. Her warmth and generosity have truly made a difference. While we wish her well in her well-deserved “retirement” from leading the club, we know this is not goodbye. We are certain she will continue to be a joyful presence in all that Chapelle has to offer. Thank you, Mrs. Mandy, for your vision, your leadership, and your love for Chapelle.💚💚
