Mount Carmel High School was founded in the fall of 1900 in the City of Chicago, near the University of Chicago, Jackson Park and Lake Michigan. Student-athletes known as the ‘Caravan’ can often be seen running up past the museums near the University after school; maybe it’s here that the young students begin thinking of life’s journey toward education and then glory. Not too far from those museums is Soldier Field and Wrigley Field, where there are visions of fame as well.
The all-male students are recruited throughout the northern and southern suburbs to attend Mt. Carmel as a college-prep high school.
