Mount Carmel High School is an all-boys, Catholic high school in Chicago's Woodlawn neighborhood. Located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago, the school has been operated by the Carmelite order of priests and brothers since 1900. Several priests and brothers who teach at the school live in the nearby Saint Cyril Priory, though most of the staff consists of lay teachers.

Mount Carmel is occasionally confused with Carmel High School in Mundelein, Illinois, and Mount Carmel High School in Mount Carmel, Illinois. The former is also a Carmelite school, while the latter is the town of Mount Carmel's only public high school.

History

In the Fall of 1900, the Carmelite order established St. Cyril College at 54th and Jefferson (now Harper) on Chicago's South Side.[12] 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.[13] The school was consecrated by Bishop Peter Muldoon on August 10, 1902; a delay caused by the death of Archbishop Patrick Feehan.[14]

Upon opening 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 September 1910, the school hosted Vincenzo Cardinal Vannutelli, about ten years before becoming Dean of the College of Cardinals.[15]

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.

Dedication – 1924

In December 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 (the "Frank Lloyd Wright of Baseball") as the architect.[16] 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 World War II, Mt. Carmel began preparing students for wartime employment or military service, offering courses in aerodynamics, meteorology, navigation, and civil air regulations.[17] Countless alumni from the G.I. Generation went on to serve in the United States Military.

In the 1960s and 70s, economic and sociological factors changed Mount Carmel's Woodlawn neighborhood- fewer Catholics were living in the immediate area and the school's enrollment dropped. Mount Carmel's close proximity to the Black Stone Rangers/Black P. Stones/El Rukn street gang may have also hurt their ability to maintain enrollment. Despite these conditions, improved bus routes permitted many students to continue reaching the school.[18]

Campus

The Mount Carmel campus is located at the intersection of East 64th Street and South Dante Avenue, near historic Jackson Park, Lake Michigan and the University of Chicago campus. The oldest surviving campus structures are the Carmelite Chapel and three-story main building from 1924 (see photo above).

In the early 1950s, Mt. Carmel built a Student Center on the north side of the main building. Then in 1968, a grant from the Archdiocese of Chicago's "Project: Renew" permitted the construction of a learning center and library that connected the main building to the student center.[19] The campus would grow again to include Carey Field on the south end of school property.

Thanks to the Capital Campaign Case Study, the Walter Scott School property was acquired- and in 1992, construction began on a new monastery for the Carmelites. The Graham Center was then constructed on the site of the old Carmelite Monastery. Although the old Priory was demolished to make room for the science and computer center, the original Chapel was saved and given a facelift. In 1999, the Scott School property was used to build Haggerty Field for soccer and baseball.[20] The campus again expanded in 2005 by adding the Mt. Carmel Convocation Center on the site of the old student parking lot. This addition is home to offices and meeting areas for alumni and faculty, a student commons/dining hall, new computer and science labs, and the Cacciatore Athletic Center.[21] The athletic center features three gyms, an indoor track, locker rooms and a modern weight room. A new student parking lot was built on the north end of the campus.

Ongoing maintenance to existing facilities have included renovations to the original pool and Carey Field, which was converted to a multipurpose Sprint Turf playing surface. In the Fall of 2019, "Barda-Dowling Stadium" was added to Carey Field, with two permanent bleachers on the East end zone and South Sideline; the stadium also includes a press-box which houses the scoreboard, announcer, and the school's student broadcast team. The 'Old Gym' is still maintained to host athletic competition, including wrestling and the school's annual Fight Night boxing event. From 2016 to 2019, Mount Carmel has renovated the interior of the original school building, adding a more technology-friendly and modern school environment. The school also plans on renovating the student center into a fully functioning theater for the Drama Club and Band.

Academics

Mount Carmel has been recognized as a Blue Ribbon[22] and National Exemplary School, and offers four comprehensive programs of study to serve the needs of all college bound students:

The Honors/Advanced Placement Program

Excel Program

College Preparatory Program

McDermott-Doyle Program for Developmental Learning

*Renewable tuition reductions, or academic scholarships, are available to incoming freshmen based on their performance on the entrance exam.[23]

Athletics

Mount Carmel competes in the Chicago Catholic League (CCL). The school's forerunner, St. Cyril, was one of the eight founding members of the league in 1912, and Mount Carmel is one of five remaining charter members.[24] Mount Carmel is a member of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA) and teams are stylized as the Caravan.

Mount Carmel sponsors interscholastic athletic teams in: baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, football, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, volleyball, water polo, and wrestling.[25] While not sponsored by the IHSA, the school also sponsors ice hockey and rugby.[25]

The following teams have won their respective state championship tournament or meet:[26]

  • Baseball (IHSA 4A): 2012–13
  • Basketball (IHSA AA): 1984–85
  • Football (IHSA, multiple classes): 1980–81, 1988–89, 1989–90, 1990–91, 1991–92, 1996–97, 1998–99, 1999–2000, 2000–01, 2002–03, 2012–13, 2013–14, 2019–20,[27] 2022–23,[28] 2023–24.[29]
  • Ice Hockey (AHAI)  : 1979, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1990
  • Wrestling: 1991–92 (2A), 1992–93 (2A), 1993–94 (2A), 2021–22 (3A), 2023–24 (3A)[30]
  • Water Polo (Illinois Water Polo): 1975

The football team's 15 state championships are tied with Joliet Catholic's 15 state championships for the most in state history,[31] while they are second in all-time in wins (734) to East St. Louis, Senior (761).[32]

The football team is also credited with a record 15 Chicago Prep Bowl Championships in 1927, 1933, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1960, 1967, 1981, 1983, 1985, 1993, 2001, 2011, 2015, and 2016.[33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] The 1932 Prep Bowl was not played when the Public League champion refused to play; Mount Carmel claims this as a forfeit championship.[45] The school also claims a Prep Bowl championship in 1939, a game that ended in a tie.[46]

The Ice Hockey Club has amassed a Catholic League record 20 Kennedy Cup awards (1965, 1973, 1974, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1993, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000) [47]

In 1908, the first ever basketball game played by DePaul University was a game against St. Cyril's on January 7, 1908.[48]

In 1916, St. Cyril's and Hyde Park High School competed in the first ever dual boxing meet between Cook County schools.[49] The tradition of boxing at Mt. Carmel continues to present day at the annual Fight Night in Spring.

In 1985, coach Ed McQuillan led Mt. Carmel's basketball team to the IHSA's large class ("AA") state championship- the first won by a Parochial school. Future Los Angeles Laker Mel McCants and New York Giant Chris Calloway led the team to a 28-4 overall record, culminating in a victory over Springfield Lanphier at Assembly Hall in Champaign. James Farr scored 30 of the team's 46 points and Derek Boyd's buzzer beater in double overtime sealed the victory.[50]

In 1995, Mt. Carmel's wrestling team was in contention for its fourth consecutive state championship. After winning its regional tournament, the IHSA disqualified the team from further participation, claiming the team had violated the cap on tournament participation.[51] Mt. Carmel filed suit in court, and a Cook County judge determined that the IHSA was following its rules arbitrarily, and ordered the Association to restore Mt. Carmel to the state tournament.[52] An hour after the Illinois Supreme Court ruled on an IHSA appeal, and sided with Mt. Carmel, the IHSA suspended the dual team state tournament.[53] The IHSA attempted to appeal to the original judge. When that failed, the tournament was cancelled.[54][55]

At least three former students have competed in the Olympic Games (Chris Chelios in Ice Hockey, Eric Pappas in Baseball, and Joe Williams in Wrestling).
