The Class of 2031's First Time on Campus as a Class On March 24, we rolled out the green and white carpet for our newest Chipmunks and their families at Green & White Welcome Night! Our incoming 8th graders were officially introduced for the very first time as the Class of 2031 and received their class t-shirts...a moment that made everything feel real! As they sat together as a class, it was a beautiful reminder that the girls beside them now will be the same ones beside them at graduation. Parents heard from our school leaders, getting a first-hand look at what to expect over the next five years as their daughters begin their high school journeys at Chapelle. The evening offered a glimpse into the academics, faith, friendships, and traditions that make Chapelle so special. What a beautiful night of Chipmunk Spunk! We cannot wait to officially welcome these Future Chips to campus.

Celebrating Those Who Serve: Volunteer Appreciation Party 💚 As we wrapped up a wonderful school year and welcomed the start of summer, we gathered for one of our favorite traditions — the Volunteer Appreciation Party. The evening was filled with good food, refreshing drinks, and even better company as we celebrated the incredible individuals who give so generously of their time and talents to Chapelle. This special night was simply our way of saying thank you for all they do to make our school community so special. Our volunteers are the heart behind so many of the moments that make Chapelle shine. From supporting events to cheering behind the scenes, their dedication and commitment truly makes a difference in the lives of our students and faculty. Each year, as a small token of our gratitude, we hold a blind drawing and select one volunteer family to receive half off their daughter’s tuition for the upcoming school year. We are excited to share that the Dubrock Family was chosen this year! Congratulations and thank you for all you do to help our school thrive. A sincere thank you to our: 💚Parents Club 💚Men’s Club 💚Grandparents Club 💚Gala Chairs and Committee 💚Golf Tournament Volunteers 💚Craft Fair Volunteers 💚Alumnae Volunteers 💚And the many others who served in countless ways throughout the year Your support, enthusiasm, and willingness to serve do not go unnoticed.

Allie Mixon Named LHSAA District Champion in Shot Put and Discus We are proud to celebrate an incredible accomplishment by senior Allie Mixon, who delivered a standout performance at the LHSAA District Meet on April 23, 2026. Allie placed 1st in both shot put and discus, earning the title of 2026 LHSAA District Champion in both events. This remarkable achievement is a testament to her strength, focus, and dedication throughout the season. To claim a district championship in one event is an impressive feat — to win both throws showcases Allie’s versatility, discipline, and competitive spirit. Her hard work in training and her commitment to excellence truly paid off on the field. Allie’s performance not only reflects her personal determination but also brings great pride to the entire Chapelle community. We are excited to see her continue this momentum as she advances in postseason competition.  Congratulations, Allie! We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see what you accomplish next.

Alumnae Induction 2026: Welcome to the Sisterhood 💚 On Friday, May 8, 2026, the Class of 2026 officially became part of the Archbishop Chapelle Alumnae Sisterhood during the Alumnae Induction Ceremony at Chateau Golf & Country Club in Kenner. The morning began with an opening prayer and brunch blessing led by Bonnie Perkins Jones ’75 and Macey Lane ’26, followed by a warm welcome from Alumnae Board Co‑President Tricia McDonnell Lara ’98. Generations of Chapelle women — from the Class of 1962 to 2026 — gathered together to celebrate this meaningful milestone. A highlight of the ceremony was the recognition of Lyndsey Manalla Dyle ’03, the 2026 Alumna of the Year, introduced by Kelly Mullen Shepherd ’84. Her reflection reminded the soon‑to‑be graduates what it truly means to live out the Chapelle mission. During the Pinning Ceremony, led by Maria Cervini Eaton ’06 and Susan Chocheles Panzavecchia ’90, each senior received her alumnae pin — a symbol of lifelong loyalty to green and white. The Class of 2026 then recited the Alumnae Induction Oath, led by Judy Golemi Spadafora ’66 and Kelsey Doyle ’26, promising to uphold Chapelle’s Catholic formation, educational excellence, and noble ideals, always trusting in our motto: Deus Providebit — God Will Provide. The lighting of the Unity Candle, presented by Debbie Robert Vigo ’04, lit by Shannon Whitman Impastato ’96 and Catherine Jouet ’26, symbolized the bond between past, present, and future alumnae. Head of School Connie Leggio Dantagnan ’88 offered closing remarks before the ceremony concluded with prayer and a heartfelt singing of the Alma Mater — a powerful reminder that while their time as students is ending, their sisterhood is forever. “We walked as sisters, hand in hand. Now we step out, trusting God’s plan.”  Welcome to the Sisterhood, Class of 2026. 💚
