There are many ways to get involved at Archbishop Chapelle High School in Metairie, Louisiana. The students here have multiple opportunities to be in clubs or activities doing hobbies they love. There are many organizations for them such as Sports, Student Council, Campus Ministry, Dance/Cheer, and Academics. Most of these clubs or activities happen year-round, so the students will always have fun extracurricular activities.

Being involved is always a good way to enhance your high school experience. By being in clubs or activities after school, you get a chance to make more friends and get to know more about the people around you. There are always ways for you to get involved at Chapelle, whether it is your first or last year of high school, you will still have chances to get involved. For example, if you are interested in Student Council, there are general meetings every Monday after school for only 30 minutes. Campus Ministry has monthly events like Campus Ministry night. Campus Ministry night is a great event because it is an amazing way to grow in your faith, while also finding close friends along the way. 

We asked some students around the school how they got involved here at Chapelle and they all had varying answers. Abby Hebbler, Class of 2026, said, “Stuco…offers you many opportunities to spend time at school participating in events. Personally, as a class officer, I am able to plan events and inform the Chapelle student body.”. There are many different ways to be an active member of Student Council. For example, you could just be a general member, homeroom representative, class officer, or student council officer. Each role has opportunities to make friends and get to know Chapelle as a whole. Another great way to get involved is Campus Ministry. Cadance Corcoran, Class of 2025, told us, “The people in Campus Ministry are there for you during the hardships in your faith and want to guide you back to God.”. All of the students in Campus Ministry are in the club to grow closer to God. The students in Campus Ministry are so welcoming to anyone. Sports is also a really good way for students to be involved here. Blythe Bonnaffons, Class of 2026, member of the volleyball team, said, “I've met so many new girls…Many of them have even influenced me to join other clubs and sports like tennis and made me even more involved in Chapelle.”. Not only is sports a good way for students to make many friends, but also it is a good way for students to stay active during their years at Chapelle. We also interviewed Kayden Dempster, Class of 2025, member of The Chapellette Dance Team, who said, “We perform at pep rallies at Chapelle and get so much support from our school…Being a leader of the team has shown me that I am truly where I am supposed to be.”. By getting involved, you have the chance to become a leader for your team. In conclusion, there are so many opportunities here at Chapelle for you to get involved in.
