Upper School  Open House 
Wrap Up

We would like to thank everyone who volunteered and were present for the 
Upper School Open House. 

We were joined by many potential students and their families. Student volunteers gave them a tour of the school which featured presentations for all of our academic departments. 

Several Alumni also took part in our open house this year and shared their journeys since graduating and how OLMC prepared them to be professionals they are today.

Giving Tuesday
The holiday season is upon us and this year OLMC is participating in
#GivingTuesday! 

What is Giving Tuesday?
#GivingTuesday is a global day of giving. After the sales of Black Friday and the online shopping boom on Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday is an opportunity to come together to show the world why it's good to give. Whether it's making a donation, volunteering your time or just spreading the word at the start of the Christmas shopping season, #GivingTuesday is a call to action for everyone who wants to give something back.

How can you participate?
On December 1, 2015, we ask you to make a gift to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and spread the word about what #GivingTuesday is all about. You may also make a gift anytime leading up to #GivingTuesday.

Support the Mount Carmel Annual Fund

Your time at Our Lady of Mount Carmel has made you who you are today. What better way to show your appreciation than a donation to our Annual Fund? Like most private schools, the cost of tuition does not cover the cost of educating each student. It is the generosity of our Alumni and other supporters that allows us to continue providing an education rooted in academic excellence, community service, and our shared Catholic values. Please  Click here to show your support for Mount Carmel by donating to the Annual Fund.
