Under Armour Partnership

Protect this house! Our Lady of Mount Carmel has announced a partnership with Under Armour. Under the agreement, OLMC will receive a significant discount on all uniforms the school purchases, as well as any equipment a coach requires a team to buy. Under Armour will also establish team stores, so players and fans can snag sport specific equipment and spirit gear. OLMC will also earn Under Armour points for every purchase, which will go toward defraying the cost of future purchases.

 

Kathleen Sipes Retirement 

After nearly three decades with Our Lady of Mount Carmel, President Kathleen Sipes announced she will be retiring as of June 2015. Over the years, Ms. Sipes has worn many hats in the OLMC community. She was a principal, a teacher, a president, but most of all, a caring and compassionate leader. We are all grateful for her dedication to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and wish her happiness and relaxation as she begins this new chapter in her life.
