Archbishop Chapelle High School Alumnae Association

Chapelle's Class of 1968 celebrated America's 250th birthday on June 13 at Bistro Orleans!❤️🤍🩵 They were decked out in red, white, and blue and full of Chipmunk spirit as they gathered to celebrate friendship, memories, and a milestone moment in our nation’s history.

We love seeing our alumnae continue to stay connected and celebrate together!

Alumna Spotlight: Rachel Meariman ’23 💚🌟

Last week, we celebrated Marissa Rinderle ’24, Founder & President of the Special Olympics College Club at UL Lafayette. Today, we are proud to spotlight the other half of that incredible partnership, Rachel Meariman ’23.

When Special Olympics Louisiana began expanding its college club program, Marissa teamed up with Rachel to help bring the vision to life. Today, Rachel serves as Vice President of the Special Olympics College Club at UL, where she continues promoting inclusion through sports, friendship, and the celebration of all abilities.

The club has already hosted a successful field day filled with activities for participants of all abilities and is planning even more exciting events next semester, including a basketball tournament, kickball game, and an outing at Rock ‘N’ Bowl.

Rachel’s leadership doesn’t stop there. She is also the President of the Kinesiology Professional Association and serves as a mentor for the UL LIFE Program, supporting college students with disabilities in their academic, community, and career development.

Rachel credits her time at Chapelle, especially as a member of the basketball team, with preparing her for these roles. Through athletics, she learned teamwork, accountability, responsibility, and communication skills that continue to shape her leadership style today. Her experience volunteering with Special Olympics while at Chapelle sparked the passion she now lives out in college.

Together, Marissa and Rachel are building something truly special at UL, and we are so proud to see two Chipmunks leading with compassion!

Alumna Spotlight: Marissa Rinderle ’24 💚

Marissa is already making a BIG impact at UL Lafayette as the Founder & President of the Special Olympics College Club at UL — a student-run organization that promotes inclusion through sports, friendship, and the celebration of all abilities.

After Special Olympics Louisiana reached out about expanding the college club program, Marissa teamed up with Rachel Meariman ’23 to bring the vision to life. In addition to leading the Special Olympics College Club, Marissa also serves as Vice President of the Kinesiology Professional Association, demonstrating her continued commitment to leadership and service.

At Chapelle, Marissa served as a Student Ambassador, a role she credits with helping her grow as a communicator and leader. “Being an ambassador enhanced my communication and leadership skills, preparing me for the various roles I now have in college,” she shared.

We are so proud of the way she continues to live out the Chapelle mission! 💚 Read more about Marissa’s journey and impact in our full blog>> http://www.archbishopchapelle.org/alumna-spotlight-marissa-rinderle-24
