Are you looking for tips for your upcoming high school experience? Here are 5 tips from Chapelle students on how to succeed academically, socially, and spiritually. The students at Chapelle have gone through the whole process of being an 8th grader and are here to provide support and answers to your questions.

At Chapelle, we are highly encouraged to be involved with extracurricular activities. We have fun events such as Rally, Rummel/Chapelle Challenge, and many more things. Coming to a new school can be very challenging and scary. At Chapelle, we strive to get everyone involved and more comfortable. It is important to value your time at Chapelle especially, your first year as you get to make new friends and be in a new environment.

We asked 5 girls for some tips on how to have the best experience at Chapelle. Avery Spadoni 10th grade said, “Being on Chapelle athletics is an experience like no other. I love my teammates and the atmosphere is amazing. This team creates lifelong friendships and sisters that always have your back.” From 9th grade Madelyn Allesandro said, “Some tips I'd give for making friends at Chapelle would be to find people who have the same interests as you, like they're in the same club or play the same sport as you. Also, you want to surround yourself with the people who love you and bring you closer to the Lord.” Olivia Wurster said ”By getting involved in events at school such as rally and challenge, I really allowed myself to get out of my comfort zone and grow relationships with everyone in my class. I've done things I never thought I would do like trying out for a challenge game, becoming a rally cheerleader, and even becoming a committee head for the student council. Since I got involved in all kinds of different events, my experience so far at Chapelle has been 10 times better and I've made so many more relationships not only with classmates but with teachers as well.”
