Mount Carmel Changes Lives

Shadow MC

Mount Carmel's Shadow Day Program gives current 7th and 8th grade boys who are seriously considering Mount Carmel the opportunity to spend the day at Mount Carmel High School.

We invite your son to experience a day as a Man of Carmel on our beautiful campus that will include being paired up with one of our students who has similar interests as your son, experiencing our challenging curriculum, meeting our dedicated teachers who will recognize you by name, getting to know other staff members on a personal level and preparing for the next stage in your son's educational journey. We can't wait to see your son on campus this year!
When completing the Shadow Day Form, please select only one date for your son to visit. All dates listed are available for students to choose from. For more information on our shadow days and to register, please click here.
