Alumna Career Engagement Spotlight: Rachel Schneider, PA-C ’14 Archbishop Chapelle High School is proud to spotlight Rachel Schneider, PA-C, Class of 2014, who serves as an Interventional Radiology Physician Assistant at Ochsner. Rachel recently returned to campus to speak with students who are interested in pursuing a career in healthcare, giving them a firsthand look at her role and the many opportunities available in the medical field. Her visit allowed students to ask questions, learn about the path to becoming a physician assistant, and gain insight into what it is like to work in interventional radiology. As an advanced practice provider, Rachel plays an important role in diagnosing and treating patients through both inpatient and outpatient care. In her position, she performs her own procedures, meets with patients through inpatient consultations, and sees patients in an outpatient clinic setting. Rachel also has the ability to prescribe imaging and medications, allowing her to provide comprehensive care and support for her patients throughout their treatment journey. We are so grateful to Rachel for sharing her time, experience, and knowledge with our students. Her dedication to healthcare and willingness to support future professionals are wonderful examples of all that a Chapelle Alumna is. Thank you, Rachel, for representing Chapelle!
Alumna Spotlight: Kara Conners Pigeon ’90 Archbishop Chapelle High School is proud to spotlight Kara Conners Pigeon, Class of 1990, on being recognized as an Influential Woman in Hospitality & Catering. Kara has built an impressive career in the events and sales industry, bringing more than 30 years of experience, leadership, creativity, and dedication to her work. She currently serves as the Catering Director of Sales for her family’s business, Pigéon Catering, where she continues to help create meaningful and memorable experiences for clients throughout the community. At Chapelle, we have had the joy of working with Kara and Pigéon Catering as they are our official school caterer! During various school events and every day in the Cafeteria, we are grateful for the care, professionalism, and excellence their company brings to each occasion. Kara credits part of her success to the foundation she received during her time at Chapelle. While she remembers Chapelle as a wonderful environment to grow up in, she also shared that balancing high school academics was not always easy. Early on, Kara was deeply involved in extracurricular activities, which made it challenging to maintain her academic focus. Thankfully, Chapelle’s structured environment and attentive faculty helped make a lasting difference. When her teachers recognized her struggles, they stepped in to help her build vital organizational and time-management skills. Those lessons helped Kara balance dance team, two jobs, and coursework during high school. The skills Kara developed at Chapelle became the foundation for her future. Learning how to manage responsibilities, stay organized, and balance a full schedule helped launch her career as an Event Production Manager in the hospitality industry. Today, those same skills continue to guide her success in her role with Pigéon Catering. Kara’s story is a beautiful example of how perseverance, support, and a strong foundation can shape a meaningful career. Her recognition as an Influential Woman in Hospitality & Catering is a testament to her hard work, passion, and commitment to excellence. Congratulations, Kara! Chapelle is proud to celebrate your accomplishments and grateful for the many ways you continue to share your talents with our community.
