Annual Activities
Since 1993, the MCHS Alumni Foundation has worked to create a true “homecoming” for our alumni by providing activities and opportunities that bring classmates, friends and families together for the Homecoming Weekend each year. The Foundation sponsors the following: Alumni Uptown, MCHS Alumni Golf Tournament, Tour of Mt. Carmel High School, All-School Social Hour and Dance.
Special Activities
The MCHS Hall of Fame is a program that recognizes graduates of MCHS who have completed high levels of education, achieved great success in their careers, attained a high ranking in the military, or is a highly recognized published writer, journalist, artist or musician. Every five years, the MCHS Alumni Foundation hosts the Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony to honor such individuals who have been nominated and selected by a panel of professional community members who serve as judges. The next Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is slated for the 2025 Homecoming Weekend. In addition, if a student who attended Mt. Carmel High School and gave their life while serving our country, will automatically qualify for the MCHS Military Hall of Fame.
Alumni Memberships
The MCHS Alumni Foundation began the Lifetime Membership Program in October of 2007. To qualify as a member of the program, an individual must be a graduate of Mt. Carmel High School and make a gift of $500 to the Alumni Foundation. In addition to free admission to the Social Hour and Dance held on the Saturday evening of the Homecoming Weekend, the donor is entitled to free entry to any academic, art, music or sports event sponsored by Mt. Carmel High School. All state tournament games are excluded. The person who has made a gift of $500 will receive a membership card and recognition on the Lifetime Membership plaque displayed in the Main Hall of Mt. Carmel High School. Beginning June of 2023, two family members may make a Lifetime Membership purchase for $750 and receive the same benefits and recognition as a single donor.
