Pro-Life Youth Leadership Summit

By Jamie Hanzo • September 21, 2026
Chips for Life Members Attend Pro-Life Youth Leadership Summit Members of Archbishop Chapelle High School’s Chips for Life Club recently attended the Pro-Life Youth Leadership Summit sponsored by Louisiana Right to Life. The summit, held at the Old State Capitol in Baton Rouge, welcomed students from schools across the area for a day focused on education, leadership, and advocacy. The event provided students with the opportunity to learn more about what it means to be pro-life, including education on the reality of abortion, Louisiana laws regarding life issues, and ways to thoughtfully respond to common questions and objections about the pro-life movement. Students also explored how they can use their voices to speak up for life in their schools, communities, and beyond. Throughout the summit, students heard from a variety of speakers and witnesses, including women impacted by abortion, Louisiana Surgeon General Dr. Evelyn Griffin, OB-GYN, Secretary of State Nancy Landry, and other leaders. Their testimonies and presentations offered students both information and personal perspectives on the importance of protecting life. For Chapelle’s Chips for Life members, the summit served as both an educational experience and a leadership opportunity. Students shared that they were especially impacted by what they learned and felt better prepared to understand and discuss pro-life topics with compassion and confidence.  As Chapelle prepares for Pro-Life Month in October, this summit helped equip students with knowledge, perspective, and encouragement to continue living out their commitment to respecting and defending the dignity of every human life. We are proud of our Chips for Life members for representing Chapelle and for their willingness to grow as informed and compassionate leaders.

Senior Retreat at Camp Abbey

By Jamie Hanzo • September 21, 2026
Class of 2027 Senior Retreat at Camp Abbey Archbishop Chapelle High School’s Class of 2027 spent time away at Camp Abbey Retreat Center for their Senior Retreat. The retreat was centered around Psalm 34:8: “O taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!” Throughout the retreat, seniors reflected on what it means to truly experience God’s goodness in every season of life, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. Students heard talks from Chapelle faculty members as well as guest speaker Jason Angelette, each encouraging them to recognize God’s presence, trust in His promises, and take refuge in Him. The retreat offered many opportunities for prayer and spiritual growth, including silent prayer and reflection, Adoration, Confession, praise and worship, and Mass. These moments gave students the chance to pause, reflect, and deepen their relationship with God as they begin their final year at Chapelle. In addition to the spiritual components of the retreat, the Class of 2027 also enjoyed time together through fun and fellowship. Students participated in a scavenger hunt, spent free time playing outdoor games such as basketball, gaga ball, kickball, and spikeball, explored hiking trails, and gathered around a campfire to make s’mores. The Senior Retreat was a meaningful opportunity for the Class of 2027 to grow in faith, strengthen their bonds as classmates, and reflect on the goodness of God as they continue their senior year. We are grateful for this special time together and look forward to all that is ahead for our seniors.

Alumnae Career Engagement—Speech-Language Pathology

By Jamie Hanzo • September 16, 2026
Career Engagement Spotlight: Taylor Tom ’16 Archbishop Chapelle High School was excited to welcome Taylor Tom ’16 back to campus as part of our Career Engagement Series. Taylor visited with students to share more about her career as a Speech-Language Pathologist and the meaningful work she does helping others communicate. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, Taylor works with children who may need support with communication, whether they are learning to communicate for the first time or working on developing clearer speech. Her work helps children build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and connect more fully with the people around them. Taylor also shared that speech-language pathologists can work with adults who experience communication challenges due to medical concerns such as strokes or neurological diseases. This field allows professionals to support people of many ages and needs, making a lasting impact on their quality of life. Currently, Taylor works with children ages 0-3 in their homes and daycares. Through early intervention, she helps young children develop important communication skills during a critical time in their growth and development. We are grateful to Taylor for returning to Chapelle to share her career journey, her expertise, and her passion for helping others find their voice. Her visit gave students a meaningful look into the field of speech-language pathology and the many ways this career can make a difference in the lives of others.  Thank you, Taylor, for inspiring our students and representing the Chapelle sisterhood so well!

Matthew 25 and ChampionChip Lunch

By Jamie Hanzo • September 14, 2026
Chapelle Celebrates Academic Excellence and Service at ChampionChip Lunch Archbishop Chapelle High School recently celebrated students who continue to live out the school’s mission through excellence in the classroom, dedication to service, and a commitment to using their gifts for others during the annual ChampionChip Lunch. This special celebration recognized students for their accomplishments in academics, service, or both. Whether earning an Outstanding Student Award, achieving Honor Roll or Distinguished Honor Roll for all four quarters, or dedicating their time and talents through the Matthew 25 Program, each honoree represented what it means to be a Chapelle Chipmunk: faithful, hardworking, compassionate, and committed to making a difference. The Matthew 25 Service Awards celebrate students who have selflessly dedicated their time and talents to helping others in meaningful ways. Inspired by the Gospel message of Matthew 25, these awards remind students that Christ is present in those we serve and that even simple acts of kindness, generosity, and compassion can have a lasting impact. Each recognition level reflects an extraordinary commitment to serving the community and answering the call to love others through action. At the ChampionChip Lunch, students were honored not only for what they achieved, but also for the spirit in which they achieved it. Academic honorees were recognized for their discipline, curiosity, perseverance, and pursuit of excellence across a wide range of subjects, while Matthew 25 honorees were celebrated for choosing to serve beyond themselves. Some students were recognized for academic achievement, some for service, and many for both. Congratulations to all of our ChampionChip Lunch honorees. We are so proud of your accomplishments, your servant hearts, and the example you set for our school community. May you continue to lead with faith, serve with love, and pursue excellence in all that you do.

All Aboard the Kindness Cruise!

By Jamie Hanzo • September 11, 2026
Chapelle Celebrates Kindness Week with a Kindness Cruise Archbishop Chapelle High School hopped aboard the Kindness Cruise for its annual celebration of spreading love and positivity across campus. Throughout the week, students participated in intentional acts of kindness, while the Counseling Department helped guide the journey by stamping students’ Kindness Passports at each “port.” The week encouraged students to see how one simple act of love can create a wave of goodness. Each day featured a new destination and challenge designed to help students practice kindness in thoughtful and meaningful ways. On Tuesday, students arrived at Port 1: Kindness Cove , where they were challenged to complete one small, intentional act of kindness for someone they did not know well. Students were encouraged to say hello to someone they usually pass by, include someone in a conversation, make room for someone to sit with them, or offer a genuine compliment. On Wednesday, the Kindness Cruise continued to Port 2: Ripple Reef . This stop reminded students that someone’s kindness does not have to stop with them. Students were challenged to notice a kind moment and then create another one, helping the ripple of kindness continue throughout the Chapelle community. On Thursday, students visited Port 3: Encouragement Island , where the focus was on using words to lift others up and brighten someone’s day. Students were encouraged to thank a teacher, celebrate someone else’s small win, send a kind message, or simply take the time to truly listen to someone. The week concluded on Friday at Port 4: Aloha Harbor with Chapelle’s Kindness Fest. In true Chapelle fashion, students celebrated the end of the week with a fun festival right here on campus. Kindness Fest included face painting, a blow-up slide, sno-balls, a 360 camera, and so much more. A special thank you goes to our Counseling Department for all they did to make Kindness Week such a successful and fun experience for everyone. Their creativity, planning, and dedication helped bring the Kindness Cruise to life and made the week meaningful for our entire school community. Kindness Week was a joyful reminder for students to keep noticing, keep including, keep encouraging, and keep making waves. Archbishop Chapelle is proud of the way our Chipmunks embraced the journey and helped create a wave of goodness across campus.

Abraham's Journey Through Scripture

By Jamie Hanzo • September 2, 2026
Theology Students Explore Abraham’s Journey Through Scripture Scavenger Hunt Theology students recently took their learning beyond the classroom with a Scripture Scavenger Hunt around campus focused on the life of Abraham in the Book of Genesis. As part of their study, students searched for and read different Scripture passages that highlighted key moments from Abraham’s life. Through these passages, they learned more about Abraham’s story of trust in God’s promises and his important role in salvation history. The scavenger hunt was designed to help students connect more deeply with Abraham’s journey. In Genesis 12, Abraham was called by God to leave his home and travel to a new land he did not know. By moving around campus to discover each Scripture passage, students were able to experience a small reflection of that journey of faith and trust.  This interactive activity gave students the opportunity to engage with Scripture in a meaningful and memorable way. As they followed Abraham’s story, they reflected on what it means to listen to God, trust His promises, and step forward in faith even when the destination is unknown.
