Mount Carmel High School is an all boys, Catholic high school in the city of Chicago, Illinois. 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 probably best known for its athletics program which includes one of the historically best football teams in the state of Illinois. Numerous alumni have gone on to careers in the National Football League, and three former head football coaches went on to notable college head coaching careers. Alumni have won all four major professional team sports championships in North America (Stanley Cup, World Series, Super Bowl, and NBA Championship).

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.

Contents

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 10 August 1902; a delay caused by the death of Archbishop Patrick Feehan.[14]

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 September 1910, the school hosted Vincenzo Cardinal Vannutelli for lunch during a tour of Chicago Catholic schools; 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 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 offering aeronautics classes (aerodynamics fundamentals, meteorology, navigation, and civil air regulations) to students, as possible preparation for wartime employment or military service.[17]

The 1960s and 1970s, economic and sociological factors changed the Woodlawn neoghborhood (fewer Catholics were living in the immediate area). Improved bus routes to the school permitted students to more easily reach the school, despite living further away.[18]

Mount Carmel's close proximity to the Black P. Stones/El Rukn street gang may have also hurt the school'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, many of whom carried- and are carrying on- family legacies. Current redevelopment projects in the Woodlawn area and the southern expansion of the University of Chicago have improved the future outlook of the school and its surrounding community.

Campus

The Mount Carmel campus is located at the intersection of East 64th Street and South Dante Avenue, less than a mile from Lake Michigan. The oldest surviving structures are the three-story main building and the Carmelite Chapel.

In the 1950s and 60s, Mt. Carmel saw the addition of two buildings: the Student Center and the two-story Learning Center. In 1968, a grant through the Archdiocese of Chicago's "Project: Renew" permitted the construction of a library and further construction that connected the classroom building and student center.[19]

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 (including the the Cacciatore Athletic Center).[citation needed]. The 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 athletic competition, including the school's annual Fight Night boxing event. 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.

Academics

Academic excellence is the trademark of Mt. Carmel High School. Once recognized as a Blue Ribbon [20] and National Exemplary School, Mount Carmel offers a comprehensive and competitive curriculum. With four programs of study, the school serves the needs of all types of college bound students:

The Honors/Advanced Placement Program The Honors Program challenges students to maximize their potential by placing them in accelerated courses, and enriches their experience through Advanced Placement courses in Literature, American, European and World History, Physics, Calculus and Foreign Languages.

Accelerated College Prep Program Students in the Accelerated College Prep Program pursue a challenging curriculum developed to prepare them for acceptance into the college of their choice. All requirements meet the standards for college admission established by the Illinois Board of High School Education.

College Prep Program The College Prep program prepares students to successfully meet the standards for college admission. To be admitted to this program, a student's standardized test scores must show college potential and his grammar school transcript and letters of recommendation must confirm a solid work ethic.

McDermott-Doyle Program The McDermott-Doyle program meets the needs of young men with specific learning disabilities who seek a college education but require accommodations to achieve their goals. There a limited number of seats in this program, with preference given to students who are Catholic or graduates of Catholic grammar schools.

Athletics

Mount Carmel competes in the Chicago Catholic League (CCL), and was one of the eight founding members of the league in 1912, and is one of five remaining charter members.[21] Mount Carmel is a member of the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). Teams are stylized as the Caravan.

Mount Carmel sponsors interscholastic athletic teams in: baseball, basketball, bowling, cross country, football, golf, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, volleyball, water polo, and wrestling.[22] While not sponsored by the IHSA, the school also sponsors ice hockey and rugby.[22]

The following teams have finished in the top four of their respective IHSA sponsored state championship tournament or meet:[23]

  • Baseball: 2nd place (2004–05)
  • Basketball: State Champions (1984–85)
  • Football: Semi-finalists (1982-83, 87-88, 2004-05, 07-08, 08-09, 09-10); 2nd place (1986–87, 95–96, 2005–06, 06–07); State Champions (1980–81, 88–89, 89–90, 90–91, 91–92, 96–97, 98–99, 99–2000, 00–01, 02–03)
  • Volleyball: 3rd place (2000–01)
  • Wrestling: 4th place (1995–96); 2nd place (1997–98, 2001–02); State Champions (1991–92, 92–93, 93–94)

The ten state championships, and the combined 14 top 2 finishes are both the second highest totals in Illinois history.[24]

Mount Carmel's football team has won a record 12 Chicago Prep Bowl Championships in 1927, 1933, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1960, 1967, 1981, 1983, 1985, 1993 and 2001.[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36]

The 1932 game was not played when the Public League champion refused to play; Mount Carmel claims this as a forfeit championship.[37] The school also claims a championship in 1939, though the game ended in a tie.[38]

Prior to the IHSA recognizing water polo, Mt. Carmel won the state championship sponsored by Illinois Water Polo in 1975.[39]

The Ice Hockey club has amassed 5 state championships (1979, 86, 87, 88, 90) and a Catholic League record 20 Kennedy Cups.

In 1908, the first ever basketball game played by DePaul University was a game against St. Cyril's on 7 January 1908.[40]

In 1916, St. Cyril's and Hyde Park High School competed in the first ever dual boxing meet between Cook County schools.[41]

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.[42] 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.[43] 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.[44] The IHSA attempted to appeal to the original judge. When that failed, the tournament was cancelled.[45][46]
