Class of 2026 Surprised with Alumnae Induction Invitation Ceremony There was a special sense of excitement in the air as the Class of 2026 seniors were surprised with an Invitation Ceremony for their upcoming Alumnae Induction Luncheon this May. What began as a normal gathering quickly turned into a memorable milestone. Members of our Alumnae Board were on hand to present the long-awaited invitations, calling each senior up by name to receive hers. One by one, the Class of 2026 stepped forward — a simple but meaningful moment marking the beginning of their transition from student to alumna. The ceremony served as a beautiful reminder that graduation is not an ending, but the beginning of a lifelong connection. Adding to the afternoon, Mrs. Judy Golemi Spadafora ’66 led a quick refresher course on table etiquette, offering practical tips and gracious guidance as the seniors prepare for their Alumnae Induction Luncheon. The girls eagerly embraced the information, fully aware that these final weeks as Chapelle students are filled with both celebration and preparation.  As May approaches, the Class of 2026 continues to savor each “last” while looking ahead to what’s next — ready to take their place in a sisterhood that will always welcome them home.

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.

Inaugural Emerald Society Induction Ceremony On March 6, 2026, we had the profound honor of inducting the Class of 1966 — our Charter Class — into the Emerald Society, as they celebrate 60 years since graduating from Archbishop Chapelle High School. As the very first graduating class, these women built the foundation of our traditions, spirit, and sisterhood. They chose our mascot, helped write our alma mater, and built the spirit and sisterhood that define Chapelle to this day. Above all, they believed in Chapelle before it had a history — and because of them, we have one. This is the first year of the Emerald Society, and honoring these women is a beautiful way to start this new tradition for our school.  Their legacy is our legacy. Deus Providebit, God Will Provide.
