Class of 1975 Celebrates May Birthdays at Don’s Seafood Laughter, memories, and plenty of delicious seafood filled the evening as members of the Class of 1975 gathered at Don’s Seafood to celebrate their classmates with May birthdays. The longtime friends enjoyed a wonderful night reconnecting, sharing stories, and continuing the special bond they have carried since their Chapelle days. It was a beautiful reminder that while years may pass, the friendships formed at Chapelle remain strong. One alumna summed up the evening perfectly, sharing: “Happy birthday, ladies! May your year ahead be filled with good health, happiness, and many more nights together like this.” We love seeing our alumnae stay connected and continue celebrating life’s special moments together. Cheers to the Class of 1975 and many more joyful gatherings ahead!

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.

Erin Black Comeaux ’99 Inspires Future Builders We were proud to welcome alumna Erin Black Comeaux ’99, Sector Leader – Commercial Construction at RNGD, LLC, as part of our Career Engagement Speaker Series. In her role, Erin is responsible for sourcing and leading commercial construction projects that are not multi-family (apartments) or hospitality (hotels). Her work helps bring to life the schools, retail spaces, offices, and public facilities that serve communities every day. Exploring Careers in Construction Erin introduced students to RNGD, a multifaceted company operating across the Southeast in four sectors: - Building - Steel - Infrastructure - Manufacturing From schools and data centers to retail and civic spaces, RNGD’s projects demonstrate how construction shapes skylines and strengthens communities. She emphasized that construction is more than what people see on a jobsite. The industry offers endless career paths — including project management, engineering, estimating, technology, finance, marketing, safety, and skilled trades. Whether a student enjoys hands-on work, leadership, problem-solving, or working with digital tools, there is a place for them in this field. Building the Future Erin also highlighted RNGD’s commitment to community impact through education, workforce development, and scholarships, reinforcing that construction is about building people and opportunities — not just structures. Her visit helped students see the wide range of possibilities available after graduation. We are grateful to Erin for sharing her journey and inspiring the next generation to consider careers that quite literally build the future.
