The Word is an organization that focuses on sharing ideas and highlighting activities at Archbishop Chapelle High School, going beyond the usual school norms.   Established in the 1960’s, The Word has been an ongoing act at Chapelle High School. Ms. Dantagnan emphasizes its importance,  stating, “I think the Word is one of the most essential organizations on campus because I think it’s a way to get news out to your peers. I also think it's important for students to continuously be in the know of things that are going on at their schools so that they can have more of a say on things that are going on and they can also refund human interest stories about their peers.”

  Students may often think of The Word as merely a writing class that just talks about newspaper content, but it’s so much more than that!  The Word allows students to express why they like to participate in diverse activities around the school. The Word has fifty members and continues to grow, welcoming new participants and promoting its mission. The members of  The Word typically meet at lunch on most Wednesdays to stay organized and discuss assignments of photography and content creation. The Word explores a variety of media including articles,  videos,  reels, and even podcasts!

The main goal of The Word is to enhance your writing techniques, photo editing, and also to engage in certain topics at Chapelle that might not receive as much attention as other subjects at Chapelle.  Why should you join The Word? The Word is not just a club, it's a family here at Chapelle that would like to get more input on different things being held. The Word is looking for you to join our club, because we know that leadership isn’t just held by one person,  but it can be shared;  we need your leadership skills and ideas to be added to our club! Mrs. Reames shares her excitement by stating, “I love it. I'm so excited it’s becoming a big thing again. When I used to go to school here, we used to get a printed newspaper, and doing it now so much more stuff can be included and involved.”
