History

At the invitation of Archbishop Patrick E. Feehan, the Carmelites established St. Cyril College at 54th and Jefferson (now Harper) in the fall of 1900. In the first year there were 13 students and five priest teachers. The following year the college was moved to 64th and Washington (now Blackstone) because of the need for a larger building and better access to public transportation. The St. Cyril College Building at 64th and Star (now Dante) was completed in 1902, and classes began with 137 students and 11 faculty members.


At first the college had three departments: (1) Academic, which included both a junior high and a high school program; (2) College, a four-year program with emphasis on Greek and Latin; (3) Commercial, a three-year course. In 1918, with young men being called to serve in World War I, the college curriculum was dropped while the high school department was enlarged and improved.


In December of 1922, Father Elias Magennis, General of the Carmelite Order, and Archbishop Mundelein of Chicago agreed on the need for the immediate construction of a new St. Cyril High School Building.

In the spring and summer of 1924, a three story main building was erected by the Thompson-Starrett Construction Company with Zachary Davis as the architect. William Lynch, a St. Cyril College graduate, was in charge of construction. Later that fall, the new building was dedicated as Mount Carmel High School.

During the 1960's and 1970's, the economic deterioration of the Woodlawn neighborhood began to hasten. As crime and poverty increased around the school, the enrollment decreased. The presence of the Black P. Stones/El Rukn street gang may have also hurt Mount Carmel's ability to attract students. But thanks to the efforts of Father David Dillon and numerous other Mount Carmel faithful, the school survived by bussing in students from neighboring areas. Woodlawn, located in the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, USA, is one of 77 well defined Chicago community areas. ... The Almighty Black P. Stone Nation (often abbreviated BPSN) is a Chicago-based street gang estimated to have almost 25,000,000 gang members. ...


Campus

The Mount Carmel campus is located at the intersection of 64th and Dante Avenue. The oldest structure is the three-story main building, dedicated in 1924 as the largest Catholic High School west of the Appalachian Mountains. Appalachians in North Carolina The Appalachian Mountains (French: les Appalaches) are a vast system of mountains in eastern North America. ...


In the 1950s and 60s, Mt. Carmel saw the addition of two buildings: the Student Center and the two-story Learning Center. Since then, the campus has gradually been enlarged, beginning with the student parking lot and the athletic field on the south end of the property. Thanks to the Capital Campaign Case Study, the campus was further expanded to include the Scott School property. In 1992, construction began on a new monastery for the Carmelites. Additionally, a science and computer center called the Graham Center was built on the site of the old Carmelite Monastery. Although the old Priory was demolished to make room for the Graham center, the original Chapel was saved and given a facelift.


The school again expanded in 2005 by adding the Mt. Carmel Convocation Center, built on top of the old student parking lot. The $17 million structure houses three gyms, an indoor track, weight room, offices, locker rooms, meeting areas for alumni and faculty, a student center/dining hall, and new computer and science labs. A new student parking lot was built on the north end of the campus.


In addition to the Convocation Center, Mt. Carmel's athletic facilities include Carey Field for football and Haggerty Field for baseball and soccer. The 'Old Gym' still hosts the school's Fight Night boxing event, and the original four-lane, 20 yard pool hosts the Swimming and Water Polo teams. Off-campus facilities used by the school include the Jackson Park trails and practice fields, Gately Stadium, Eckersall Stadium, and the Homewood-Flossmoor ice arena. Jackson Park or Jackson Park Highlands is a 500 acre (2 km²) park on Chicagos South Side located in the South Shore community area, bordering Lake Michigan and the neighborhoods of Hyde Park and Woodlawn. ...


Academics

Academic excellence is the trademark of Mt. Carmel High School. Under the leadership of Fr. Robert Carroll in the 1980's, the school was recognized as a Blue Ribbon [1] and National Expemplary School. Mount Carmel currently offers a curriculum that is as comprehensive as that of any Catholic High School in Chicago. With four programs of study, the school serves the needs of all types of college bound students:

There a limited number of seats in this program, with preference given to students who are Catholic or graduates of Catholic grammar schools.
