Mt. Carmel High School

I am very happy with Mt. Carmel. The teachers are very supportive (especially the wrestling coaches) of the students in both their school work and their home life. I only wish that more information was sent home pertaining to detail on how and when to sign up for academic honor societies like National Honor Society and CSF. Other parent told me about it and I had to hunt down the qualifications for my child. Other than that, I am very satisfied.
