After a long fun summer, first quarter exams can seem to be scary. With these 5 tips and recommendations from our very own Chapelle students, you will be sure to pass them.


Make sure to keep all your notes organized. 

With an unorganized binder, it could be hard to Find what you need to study.


      2.   Make study guides and practice tests.

            Making these can get you into the mindset of what type of questions could be on                                                                                                         

            the exam.


      3.   Do not study the night before!

            While studying the night, before may seem smart, trying to jam all that 

            information in your head, may make it hard to remember all of it. 


      4.   Go in with a positive mindset! 

            Having a positive mindset is the key to having a good exam week. 


      5.   Have a plan before you study.

            A good study plan before you go in is a great thing to have because you have an 

            outline of what you need to study and when. 


Now, we interviewed a student from each grade about their very favorite study tips that help them! 

8th grader, Megan Cash said “My favorite study tip is to study weeks before a different study each night. I also write flashcards on all my pass tests and quizzes.”

9th grader, Maddy Allesandro said, “My favorite study tip is to explain the lesson to my parents as if they know nothing.” 

10th grader, Rosie Cardella,” My favorite study tip is to grab a friend in that class and go to a library or a coffee shop and study there”

11th grader, Ava Cambre said, “My favorite study tip is to make up questions that could possibly be on the exams and answer them!”


These are our tips to make sure you pass this quarter.

Welcome, Mollie Montgomery, Our New Mission Advisor! We are thrilled to introduce Mollie Montgomery as Chapelle's new Mission Advisor ! Mollie brings a passion for faith, service, and education to this important role, and we couldn’t be more excited to have her on campus. Here’s what Mollie shared about her journey to Chapelle: "My name is Mollie Montgomery, and I’m excited to be serving at Chapelle as the Mission Advisor. I moved to New Orleans from Mississippi about a year ago. My Catholic education was one of the greatest gifts my parents gave me—it was during that time that I grew in my Catholic identity and discovered a deep joy in serving others. Little did I know when I came on campus last March for the St. Joseph Altar and stole a lemon, God would provide... just like the school’s motto. When I saw this role open, I knew God was allowing me the opportunity to be a witness to these young women and to walk with them in their own journeys of faith. In this role, I will help ensure that all aspects of school life align with our mission, Catholic social teaching, and the values of the Church. I will also coordinate the school’s service program and Liturgies. In collaboration with Emily Lannan, our Campus Minister, I will work to foster meaningful encounters with Christ for our students, faculty, and staff, nurturing a faith-filled community rooted in service, prayer, and spiritual growth." As Mission Advisor, Mollie will play a vital role in ensuring that Chapelle continues to live out its mission through faith, service, and community. From coordinating Liturgies and service programs to fostering spiritual growth, Mollie is ready to help our students deepen their faith and embrace their role as women of God. Welcome to Chapelle, Mollie! We are so blessed to have you join the Chapelle family and can’t wait to see the meaningful impact you’ll make in our community.
