2026 Chapelle Makes A Difference Day 🌟 25 Agencies. One Mission. Endless Impact. 💚 Chapelle’s annual Makes A Difference Day once again brought our entire student body into the heart of the community for a day rooted in service, compassion, and purpose. This year, our Chipmunks partnered with 25 incredible organizations across Louisiana, dedicating their time and energy to meeting real needs and forming meaningful connections. From environmental stewardship and hands‑on service projects to spending time with residents, supporting teachers, organizing donations, and assisting local ministries, our students truly served as the hands and feet of Christ throughout the day. Whether offering a helping hand or simply sharing a smile and conversation, the impact was felt far beyond a single afternoon. This powerful tradition reflects the heart of a Chapelle education—forming young women who lead with faith, act with compassion, and serve with joy. We are incredibly proud of the way our students continue to step beyond our campus walls to make a difference where it matters most.

Physics in Action: Mrs. Blackburn’s Egg Drop Challenge 🥚 Learning came crashing down in the best way possible in Mrs. Blackburn’s physics classes as students took on a classic (and messy!) egg drop challenge designed to bring physics concepts to life. Students put momentum, impulse, and kinetic energy to the test by engineering devices meant to protect a raw egg dropped from Chapelle’s breezeway, nearly 15 feet above the ground. With no limits on materials or design, creativity ran wild and ingenuity was on full display. The results were as entertaining as they were educational. We saw eggs cushioned by loaves of bread, protected by foam enclosures, sealed inside peanut butter jars, and even suspended in a bucket of slime. Each design reflected thoughtful problem‑solving and an understanding of how force and energy interact during impact. While not every egg survived the fall, every drop was a lesson. Students analyzed what worked, what didn’t, and how their designs could improve, gaining hands‑on experience that textbooks simply can’t replicate. Some builds were especially impressive, proving that a little imagination goes a long way in science. Mrs. Blackburn’s egg drop challenge was a perfect example of how Chapelle students learn by doing, combining curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking in a fun and unforgettable way.

Welcoming Future Chapelle Chips to Future Scholars Night🌟💚 On October 1st, Archbishop Chapelle High School welcomed prospective families to our campus for Future Scholars Night, an exciting evening designed for 5th, 6th, and 7th grade girls and their families. This special event gave families a chance to explore Chapelle’s academic programs, experience hands-on learning, and discover what makes our school such a unique and inspiring place for young women. A Warm Welcome to Future Chips The evening kicked off with a warm welcome from our Associate Head of School, who set the tone for an insightful and fun-filled night. Families then split into groups, with parents and their daughters participating in tailored activities to help them get a taste of the Chapelle experience. Hands-On Activities for Future Scholars While parents met with Chapelle teachers to learn more about our academic programs, the students got to dive into hands-on learning experiences. Some of the exciting stations included: - Future Focus : Students explored their future at Chapelle by creating vision boards and learning about college prep opportunities. - STEM : A highlight of the evening, students worked on robotics, experimented with 3D printing in the ARC, and conducted fun science experiments. - Tech and Media : Guests got a behind-the-scenes look at Chapelle’s technology and media program, showcasing how creativity meets innovation. - Experiential Learning : Students learned about Chapelle’s exciting electives and field trips that take learning outside the classroom and into the real world. These stations gave Future Chips the opportunity to experience the vibrant and diverse learning opportunities that await them at Chapelle! Informative Sessions for Parents While the students were busy exploring, parents had the chance to hear directly from Chapelle teachers about the curriculum, programs, and resources that make our school a leader in Catholic education. Families also received handouts with valuable information about scholarships and course studies, helping them envision their daughter’s future as a Chapelle student. A Night to Remember Future Scholars Night was an overwhelming success, giving prospective families a firsthand look at the supportive, faith-filled, and academically enriching environment that Chapelle offers. We loved seeing so many bright, curious young women and their families on campus, and we hope they left feeling excited about the possibilities of becoming part of the Chapelle family! To all of our Future Chips: Thank you for joining us, and we can’t wait to see you again soon! 💚

Softball Retreat Builds Faith, Teamwork, and Season‑Ready Spirit This past weekend, Chapelle’s softball team kicked off the season with a meaningful and energizing team retreat—and they truly knocked it out of the park. The day was filled with opportunities for faith, reflection, and bonding. The retreat began with a Blessing of the Field led by Deacon Capaci, setting the tone for a season rooted in gratitude, faith, and purpose. The team then took the field for a scrimmage, followed by a series of team challenges designed to strengthen communication and trust. One of the highlights of the day was this year’s featured challenge, “Carry the Canoe: The Way.” The team worked together through 14 stations, completing both physical challenges and problem‑solving tasks at each stop. With every station, a 5‑pound weight was added to the canoe they carried—symbolizing the importance of perseverance, unity, and shared responsibility as challenges grow. In addition to the physical and mental challenges, the team spent time in reflection in the chapel, participated in team‑bonding games, and concluded the retreat by attending Mass at St. Philip Neri (SPN). The goal of the retreat was simple but powerful: to grow in Christ and grow together as a team. This weekend served as a beautiful foundation for the season ahead, strengthening not only athletic readiness but also faith and friendship.  We are excited to see how this team carries these lessons onto the field throughout the season.
