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!

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.

ChipStart 2026: Welcoming the Class of 2031 💚 ChipStart is more than just an introduction to high school. It is the first step in a journey of sisterhood, faith, leadership, and confidence at Archbishop Chapelle High School. Over the course of two unforgettable weeks in June, the Class of 2031 officially began their Chapelle story. From the moment they checked in on the first morning, they were welcomed by Student Council, class officers, Ambassadors, faculty, and administrators who were eager to help them feel at home. Throughout ChipStart, our newest Chipmunks experienced a little bit of everything that makes Chapelle special. They learned school traditions, practiced cheers, brainstormed rally themes, and competed in friendly games that gave them a taste of the excitement of Rally season. They explored campus, met administrators, walked their schedules, and became familiar with the spaces where they will learn and grow over the next four years. Faith remained at the heart of it all. The class participated in a retreat experience and celebrated their very first Class Mass together, which is a meaningful milestone that grounded their high school journey in prayer and community. They learned Chapelle songs, reflected on what it means to be a young woman of faith, and closed each day in gratitude. Of course, ChipStart would not be complete without plenty of fun. From pep rallies and scavenger hunts to workouts, bonding games, off‑campus adventures, and a spirited class rally, laughter filled the halls. The Chippy Bucks auction and final celebration luncheon were the perfect way to end their time together, recognizing the friendships formed and memories made. Most importantly, ChipStart created connection. What began as a group of incoming 8th graders quickly became a class united in spirit and ready to take on high school together. The Class of 2031 has officially begun their Chapelle legacy, and we cannot wait to see how they grow, lead, and shine in the years ahead. Welcome home, Chipmunks.

Serving Up Summer Fun at Chapelle Volleyball Camp 💚🏐☀️ Chapelle Volleyball Camps brought the perfect mix of skill-building, competition, and summer fun to campus this season! From our youngest campers to our elite athletes, the gym was filled with energy, teamwork, and plenty of Chipmunk spirit. 3rd–5th Grade Morning Session Our youngest campers kicked off their mornings with competitive games, volleyball-themed relays, and dynamic warm-ups designed to build strong fundamentals. With a fun “Under the Sea” theme and team “uniforms,” the girls combined skill development with creativity and team spirit. The camp focused not only on learning the basics of the game, but also on sportsmanship and teamwork. One of the highlights? Learning directly from our own VolleyChips, who helped lead drills and encouraged campers every step of the way. It was a week full of new friendships, growing confidence, and big smiles. 6th–7th Grade Afternoon Session The afternoons brought high-energy instruction with a true Chipmunk flair! Campers worked through advanced drills focused on improving passing, setting, and hitting while continuing to strengthen their overall volleyball IQ. The week wrapped up with an exciting Round Robin tournament, where teams battled it out to earn the title of Queen of the Court. The competition was fierce, but the fun and camaraderie made it an unforgettable experience. Elite Camp – Friday Friday’s Elite Camp delivered a full day of high-level competition and classic Chapelle fun. Campers participated in intense games while also enjoying Chapelle favorites like Chips and Sailors and the Hula Hoop Relay. With a festive Red, White, and Blue dress-up theme, the energy in the gym was unmatched. Each team was paired with a Chapelle volleyball player, giving campers the opportunity to receive personalized instruction and game-time tips throughout the day. It was a competitive, fast-paced, and inspiring environment — the perfect way to elevate skills and experience Chapelle Volleyball at its best. From beginners to elite athletes, Chapelle Volleyball Camp showcased what makes our program so special: skill development, leadership, school spirit, and a whole lot of fun. We loved welcoming these future Chipmunks to campus and can’t wait to see them back in the gym soon! 💚🐿️🏐
