Generations Together: Celebrating Chapelle’s Legacy Mass Archbishop Chapelle High School welcomed over 450 alumnae to campus for our annual Legacy Mass and Lunch, a beloved tradition celebrating the generations of women who remain Loyal to Green & White. Mothers, daughters, grandmothers, aunts, and siblings gathered with their legacy students for a morning filled with faith, family, and Chapelle pride. Seeing generations come together was a beautiful reminder that the bonds formed at Chapelle extend far beyond graduation. A Colorful Celebration of Tradition One of the most memorable sights of the morning was the gathering of senior sweaters in so many different colors, each representing a graduating class and its own treasured memories. Together, those sweaters told a larger story: generations of young women who have found friendship, faith, and a home at Chapelle. Sharing that tradition with today’s students made the morning especially meaningful. One Big Chapelle Family An especially moving moment was singing the Alma Mater together as one big Chapelle family. With alumnae and current students joining their voices, the words connected generations through a shared love for their school. Following Mass, families enjoyed lunch together, giving them time to reconnect, share memories, and make new ones on the campus that means so much to them. A Morning to Remember Legacy Mass is one of the best days of the year, and this year was no exception. Its joy comes from the people who return, the traditions they share, and the faith that brings our community together. Thank you to everyone who joined us and made this morning so special. Whether your Chapelle story began decades ago or is still being written, you will always be part of our family.

Exploring the Possibilities of Mass Communication with LSU’s Manship School What could a future in mass communication look like? Students in Chapelle’s Technology and Digital Media classes explored that question during a campus visit from Kyrin Lewis, Student Engagement Coordinator at Louisiana State University’s Manship School of Mass Communication. Kyrin introduced students to the Manship School and shared how its learning environment and opportunities for involvement could support their interests in a mass communication career. The visit offered our Chipmunks a chance to connect what they’re learning in class with potential paths in college and beyond. Finding Their Place and Their Voice Students heard about the culture of the Manship School and the many ways they could get involved, including LSU’s radio station, broadcast news station, magazine editing team, and student newspaper. Whether their interests lean toward storytelling, broadcasting, writing, or editing, students were introduced to opportunities to explore their talents and contribute to student media. Kyrin’s presentation encouraged them to imagine where their creativity and communication skills might take them. Connecting Classroom Learning to the Future Visits like this help students see the possibilities beyond their high school classrooms. For those considering mass communication (and those still discovering their interests) the conversation offered a look at what their next chapter could hold. Thank you, Kyrin, for bringing your expertise, enthusiasm, and fun personality to Chapelle! We appreciate you helping our students envision their futures and discover new ways to use their voices.

"Legacy Makes Cents" Coin Wars 2026 From October 12-16, Archbishop Chapelle High School will celebrate school spirit, friendly competition, and alumnae pride with this year’s penny war theme: Legacy Makes Cents! This exciting fundraiser will bring together current students and Chapelle Alumnae Faculty/Staff in a fun, competitive way. Each grade level will be represented by a Chapelle alumna teacher/staff member, making this year’s event a special celebration of the legacy that connects generations of Chipmunks. Meet the Grade Level Representatives Each grade level will compete on behalf of their alumna representative: 8th Grade: Mrs. Mellor, Class of 2003 Freshmen: Mrs. Medina, Class of 2006 Sophomores: Mrs. Wurster, Class of 2000 Juniors: Ms. LaCour, Class of 2021 Seniors: Mrs. Linegang, Class of 2020 Students are encouraged to support their grade level representative throughout the week as they work to earn the highest total. How the Competition Works The rules are simple, but the strategy is everything! Coins count as positive points for your grade level. Bills count as negative points when placed toward another grade level. Pins or stickers for your own grade level representative count as positive. Pins or stickers for another grade level representative count as negative. Students who want to support their own grade should donate coins and purchase pins or stickers for their own representative. Students who want to lower another grade’s total should donate bills or purchase pins or stickers for another grade level representative. At the end of the week, the grade level with the highest total will win a very special prize: their representative will get to pie the other grade level representatives! Student Body Fundraising Goals In addition to the grade level competition, the entire student body will work together toward schoolwide fundraising goals. If certain amounts are raised, the winning class officers will have the opportunity to pie Chapelle staff members who are also proud alumnae. The more we raise, the more alumnae staff members join the fun! $2,000: Mrs. Pierce, Class of 2013 $2,500: Mrs. Dawson, Class of 2013 $3,000: Mrs. Woodward, Class of 1996 $3,500: Ms. Smith, Class of 1980 $4,000: Mrs. Panzavecchia, Class of 1990 $4,500: Mrs. Dantagnan, Class of 1988 All for a Good Cause! All proceeds go towards our Chapelle Giving Tree which helps fulfill wishlist items for numerous families in need! We can’t wait to see which grade comes out on top and how many alumnae staff members will end up in the pie zone! Get your coins, bills, pins, and stickers ready, Chipmunks. Let the competition begin!

In its national feature, “High school volleyball: Best player in all 50 states heading into the 2026 season,” MaxPreps highlighted top volleyball players from across the country, recognizing one standout athlete from each state.
