  Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic School is more than just a school. It is a student's best preparation for life: inspiring and faith filled, rigorous and engaging, creative and collaborative. The aim and content of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic School educational program considers not only the child’s mind and body but also, most importantly, his/her immortal soul.
- OUR HISTORY
  
  Our Lady of Mount Carmel School opened its doors on September 4, 1956, with first-grade through eighth-grade classes. A kindergarten program was added in 1984. From the school’s beginning, religious sisters were part of the faculty. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Tipton were the first religious community on staff, and they served the school until 1967. The Sisters of Notre Dame of Toledo, Ohio arrived at the school next and remained on staff for over 35 years. Since 2005, the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia have been part of the school faculty and continue to serve as teachers and administrators to this day.
