Congratulations to junior Victoria (Tori) Nagode for her Honorable Mention in the Midwest Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. This distinction is only awarded to the top 10-15% of all entries in this extremely competitive contest. Tori's submission is a digital art portrait titled "Jamais Vu." She will be recognized in a virtual Scholastic Awards Celebration on March 7.

We have continued our tradition of awarding select students with an "MVC" (Most Valuable Corsair) award during Catholic Schools Week, February 1-5. These are students who exemplify the values of Carmel Catholic High School through their actions at school and in their community.

Foreign Language teachers, Esmeralda Mora and Greg Schwab presented this week at Comprehended! – a conference that brings together CI professionals and impassioned teachers from all over the globe in a unique, online conference dedicated to comprehension-based language instruction.

Together as a school community, we will celebrate Catholic Schools Week (CSW) during the week of February 1. CSW is an annual celebration of Catholic education in the United States. Catholic schools have a specific purpose to form students to be good citizens of the world, love God and neighbor and enrich society by example of faith. We have a number of events planned to celebrate!

On January 17, Carmel hosted the March for Life Chicago’s Moving the Movement Tour, a pro-life drive-in and socially-distanced rally. The event featured inspiring speakers, including Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, Melissa Villalobos, Dr. Brad Bonham, Mark Curran, Carmel Catholic Senior Hannah Arends, and more.

Carmel Catholic congratulates the 752 students who have been named to the honor roll for their excellent academic achievement.

Carmel Catholic is participating in Stanford University's STEP-UP program, which aims to reduce barriers for underrepresented minorities, first-generation college-goers and disadvantaged students interested in pursuing a major in STEM fields. The program is funded by the National Institutes of Health.

More than 300 admissions decision boxes have been delivered to admitted freshmen, with more still to come! We are thrilled to welcome our newest Corsairs to the Carmel Catholic community.

Students should expect to see a sizable new addition to the campus in the coming weeks. President Brad Bonham is eyeing a February completion date for a brand-new multicultural center.

The Carmel Catholic Engineering Department is the proud recipient of a $10,000 grant from The Grainger Foundation. These funds are intended to support the advancement of the school’s engineering curriculum for the STEM program through the purchase of six laptop computers to run engineering-specific software.
