Archbishop Chapelle High School welcomed back over 90 alumni on campus. They explained their careers to our student body and gave our students critical knowledge and advice on deciding career choices for their futures. Career Day occurred at the beginning of our second semester, January 10, 2025. 

Career Day helps our students glance at many different careers they may be interested in. Many students were able to find careers they had no idea they might have been interested in. Chapelle has career day to give students a look at what they picture their future to be and helps them figure out what they want to be in life. Career Day offers people the chance to talk to different people and get a point of view on what they do and how they accomplished their dreams. Career day had over 90+ alums in different careers talking about what they do, and students could learn more about jobs they might have been interested in. Overall, this day went terrifically, and students were able to get more information on different careers that could help them in the future.

Career day is an important event at school that helps our students decide their career paths. It allows us to explore different careers we may not have thought about. We can choose from various professions we could discover for the rest of our lives. Junior Kai Jones states, "Career Day was an amazing experience, and I had so much fun learning about different careers. One of the highlights was sitting in on a session with the Girls on the Run, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering young girls through running and mentorship. It was a truly eye-opening experience, and it made me realize how impactful nonprofit work can be, especially when it helps to create positive change in the lives of young people." Our students love Career Day. Heather Hymel says, "Career Day can help you find careers that you would never have thought you were interested in, and it opened my eyes to the different career paths I could choose. I love Career Day because of how helpful it is!" Our teachers love watching the girls and hearing the speakers as well. For example, Julie Rodrigue said, "I believe career day is so important for high schoolers to begin thinking about their futures! We can take many career paths, and it's important to be exposed to as many as possible. I witnessed students learn about a career and organization they might not have learned about otherwise. I am so grateful for the counselors and alumni who made Career Day possible."
