History
Carmel High School has a long history dating back to 1887 when the cornerstone for the first CHS was laid on a building located on the south side of the town of Carmel. A second building was opened in 1923 on the present school site and housed students K through 12 until 1958. Only sophomores, juniors, and seniors attended the school from 1964 to 1995. The current high school building dates from 1958. Since that opening there have been five additional construction projects that have expanded and renovated the building. The 2005-2006 school year marked the opening of the newest addition, the Freshman Center. 1887 (MDCCCLXXXVII) is a common year starting on Saturday (click on link for calendar) of the Gregorian calendar or a common year starting on Monday of the Julian calendar. ...

Facilities The Carmel High School campus sits on 55 acres situated less than a mile from downtown Carmel. At least 22 of these acres are devoted to the actual school building itself. The indoor complex is divided into a number of buildings: - A -- Math (3rd Floor), Foreign Language (2nd Floor), Family and Consumer Sciences (1st Floor)
- B -- Science (2nd Floor)
- C -- Communications (1st Floor), Art (1st Floor), Industrial Technologies (1st Floor)
- D -- One room, likely a conference room, on the second floor in between the E and B wings
- E -- Social Studies (2nd Floor), Physics (2nd Floor), English (1st Floor)
- F -- Business (1st Floor), Computer Science (1st Floor)
- G -- Gym / Aquatic Areas (Below 1st Floor)
- P -- Performing Arts (1st Floor)
- H -- Freshman Center (see below)
The recently added Freshman Center features three similar floors, each one featuring a number of English, Social Studies, Biology (the mandatory Freshman science course) and Math classrooms.
Today the school has two libraries: the main library and the Freshman library, which are connected. There are also three cafeterias: The Main Cafeteria, Greyhound Station, and the Freshman Cafeteria.
The Dale E. Graham Auditorium, located in the performing arts center, can only fit under 2,000 people, so the school's varsity gym is used during pep sessions, when all students are in attendance.
A studio theater exists for smaller presentations and performances.
A Traditional School Day The school operates on a "block eight" schedule with each class around 90 minutes long and meeting every other day. The days are named after the school's colors: Blue Days consist of periods 1, 2, 3, & 4, and Gold Days consist of periods 5, 6 (SRT), 7, & 8. SRT (Student Resource Time) is the school's prep period. The teacher who supervises the students during SRT is considered the homeroom teacher of the students. Most school assemblies are held during the SRT period. Lunch period takes place during period 3 and 7 of each day and are based on what department the student has class in during that time. Due to the student traffic and the large campus, passing periods between classes are 10 minutes long. Block scheduling is a type of academic scheduling in which each student has fewer classes per day for a longer period of time; academic days alternate, with students having half of their classes on one day and the other half on the other. ...

PLC System The 2006-07 school year implemented a new PLC system called late start in which for every Gold Day Wednesday (usually every other week), school does not start until 8:30 AM. However, the students that travel to school by bus must arrive at the normal time around 7:30 AM. As a result, there are no professional half days (half days are only on final exam days).
The top 25 system has been cancelled and has been replaced by a Certificate of Excellence program in which students earn points not only for good grades but also through participation in extracurricular activities such as sports and music. The Certificate of Excellence program will begin in the 2007-2008 school year. Year 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD/CE era. ...
