Alumna Spotlight: Brigid Higgins Van Timmeren ’87 Named Principal of St. Cletus Elementary Archbishop Chapelle High School is proud to celebrate alumna Brigid Higgins Van Timmeren ’87 on her appointment as the new principal of St. Cletus Elementary School. Brigid shared, “It is with great joy and excitement that I become the new principal of St. Cletus Elementary School. My journey in education has been fueled by a commitment to my Catholic values and academic excellence nurtured long ago by my family, close friendships, and the dedicated faculty at Archbishop Chapelle High School.” A lifelong servant-leader, Brigid brings more than 26 years of experience in education and over 30 years in music ministry at St. Rita Catholic Church to her new role. Most recently, she served in leadership positions at Metairie Academy for Advanced Studies and with the Jefferson Parish Talented Music Program, where she mentored teachers and supported students in achieving academic and creative excellence. Brigid’s commitment to Catholic education is rooted in Gospel values and a deep belief in servant leadership. Her dedication to mentoring teachers and forming students spiritually and academically reflects the mission we hold dear at Chapelle. We are incredibly proud of Brigid and the impact she will continue to make in Catholic education. Congratulations, Mrs. Van Timmeren! Our Chapelle family is cheering you on! 💚

The Class of 2006's 20-Year Reunion at Cork Wine & Martini Bar! We had the joy of celebrating the Class of 2006 at their 20-year reunion — our unforgettable Katrina Class. 💚 Their senior year was marked by one of the most challenging moments in our city’s history, yet their faith and sisterhood carried them through. You may notice one gentleman pictured with the class — during the unique circumstances following Hurricane Katrina, one young man graduated alongside these Chipmunks. He will always be an honorary part of the Chapelle family. Nearly twenty years later, the Class of 2006's bond is just as strong.💚
