Archbishop Chapelle High School: Louisiana State Champion for the Vocabulary Bowl

Archbishop Chapelle High School is thrilled to announce that our students have been crowned Louisiana State Champions for both the Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 seasons of the Vocabulary Bowl, hosted by Vocabulary.com!


During the Fall 2024 season, which ran from October 1 to November 30, our students mastered an impressive 12,876 words, securing first place in the state. This hard work not only earned us bragging rights but also a banner to commemorate the achievement. Continuing their dedication and enthusiasm, our students rose to the challenge again during the Spring 2025 season, from February 1 to March 31, emerging as state champions once more.

What is the Vocabulary Bowl?

The Vocabulary Bowl is a nationwide competition hosted by Vocabulary.com that inspires students and schools to strengthen their vocabulary skills. Through this interactive platform, participants answer vocabulary questions to earn points for their school. Leaderboards track progress at state, regional, and national levels, recognizing top-performing schools and students at the end of each season.


Vocabulary.com’s adaptive learning system tailors word lists and quizzes to match individual progress, making the learning experience both personalized and engaging. This innovative platform helps students build their vocabulary while promoting critical thinking and communication skills.

Chapelle’s Approach to Vocabulary Success

At Archbishop Chapelle, Vocabulary.com is a vital tool in our students’ educational journey. While it’s primarily used in English classes, teachers across all subject areas are encouraged to integrate the platform into their lessons. This allows students to:

  • Master vocabulary related to specific topics they are studying.
  • Prepare effectively for standardized tests like the ACT and SAT.


Chapelle has incorporated Vocabulary.com into our curriculum since the 2017-2018 school year, and it has become a cornerstone of our commitment to academic excellence.

Why Vocabulary Matters

A strong vocabulary is essential for success in school and beyond. It enhances communication, comprehension, and critical thinking, while also fostering a deeper connection to reading and writing. The more words students know, the more effectively they can express themselves, analyze texts, and engage with the world around them.

A Legacy of Excellence

These back-to-back state championships are a testament to the dedication and hard work of our students, faculty, and entire Chapelle community. The recognition from the Vocabulary Bowl not only highlights our commitment to academic achievement but also celebrates the spirit of learning that defines Archbishop Chapelle High School.

  • Congratulations to our students for this incredible accomplishment! Your efforts have brought pride to our school, and your success serves as an inspiration to us all.
