I had a great experience at CHS. Teachers were (often) amazing and really cared about student well-being and success.

I love the evident dedication that the teachers provide at Carmel High School. I have never had a teacher who is not willing to provide their extra time and effort into helping their students. My school could better itself by dedicating more focus to its music and art classes and clubs.

It was a very interesting learning experience. I was able to meet people of different origins and be able to connect with people with similar mindsets as me at a young age. I loved the environment and the people and staff within the school. Though I am excited to begin my new journey, i can say wholeheartedly that CHS made me the man I am currently, through the lessons and successes and failures and through the people I connected with.
