Archbishop Chapelle High School

Who We Are

Archbishop Chapelle High School was founded in 1962 by the Archdiocese of New Orleans as the first all-girls Catholic high school on the east bank of Jefferson Parish. Chapelle was named in honor of Archbishop Placide Louis Chapelle, the sixth archbishop of New Orleans, and the first to serve in the Twentieth Century. 

Inspired by her namesake, Chapelle continues to pursue excellence in education and service to those in need. The charism of Chapelle might be said to lie in unconditional belief in her motto, taken from the Episcopal Crest of Archbishop Chapelle, Deus Providebit, "God Will Provide." Reliance on the timely and supportive intercession of our Blessed Mother inspired the founders of Chapelle to choose Our Lady of Prompt Succor as patroness of the young school.  

The mission of Archbishop Chapelle High School is the establishment of a Catholic educational community of excellence in which the spiritual, academic, and social development of our students is accomplished trusting that Deus Providebit...God will Provide.
