Bullying/Harassment Policy
Bullying is a distinctive pattern of repeatedly and deliberately harming and humiliating others and is characterized by a power imbalance between the two parties. Bullying includes, but is not limited to physical or verbal aggression, relational aggression, or emotional aggression (teasing, threatening, and intimidating others). Relational aggression (RA), is a form of indirect bullying that uses social relationships to manipulate or harm others, such as isolating a student
from her group of friends (social exclusion), threatening to stop talking to a
friend (the ''silent treatment''), or spreading gossip and rumors. Harassment includes, but is not limited to, slurs, jokes, comments, or other offensive conduct relating to race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, disability, or any other legally protected characteristic. Bullying, relational aggression (including cyber-bullying), and harassment will not be tolerated. Please use the forms below to report bullying.

Recapping a Great Summer
This summer, Molly hit the court in a big way—literally! While playing travel basketball, she participated in a 3-point shooting competition during one of her tournaments. The contest brought together about 15 talented high school players from across Louisiana and Mississippi, each ready to show off their shooting skills. When the final buzzer sounded, Molly had made the most 3-pointers out of the entire group, securing her spot as the champion! Her sharp shooting earned her not just bragging rights, but also a championship ring and a $400 prize. We are so proud of Molly for this exciting achievement! We cannot wait to see her in the Burrow this year representing Archbishop Chapelle High School on the basketball court!
We are thrilled to share exciting news about one of our own, Kyla Wilson '29, whose dedication, skill, and perseverance have earned her a spot on the international stage! This past June, at the USA Gymnastics Nationals, Kyla was selected to represent the United States at the South Tyneside International Acro Cup in Great Britain this October. This prestigious competition will bring together top athletes from around the world, and Kyla will proudly compete as part of Team USA. Kyla’s journey to this moment has been years in the making. Countless hours of training, discipline, and determination have shaped her into the exceptional gymnast she is today. Her selection is not only a testament to her incredible talent but also to her resilience and love for the sport. We are so proud of Kyla and cannot wait to cheer her on as she takes the floor in Great Britain.

Chapelle Cheer Takes on NCA Camp this Summer
Congratulations to our College Counselor, Mrs. Jessica Reeg '00, on receiving the Notre Dame Golden Guide Award ! This prestigious honor, awarded by the University of Notre Dame, recognizes outstanding educators who go above and beyond in guiding students through the college search and application process. What makes this award especially meaningful is that recipients are nominated by their own students. Recent graduate Savannah Corrales '25 nominated Mrs. Reeg for the award, sharing: "If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t have applied to any out-of-state schools, but her encouragement and support throughout this process helped me get into top schools like Notre Dame, where I’m proud to continue my education." Mrs. Reeg is a tireless advocate for our soon to be alumnae, working one-on-one with seniors through every step of the college admissions journey, from essay writing and transcript tracking to scholarship searches and application prep. This year also marks Mrs. Reeg’s 20th year of dedicated service at Chapelle. We are so proud and grateful to have her as part of our school community. Congratulations, Mrs. Reeg!
