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.

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.
