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 and experience firsthand what it is like to be a member of the Caravan. 

If you are currently in high school but considering transferring, please contact our Admissions Office in advance to discuss a potential shadow day.

When completing the Shadow Day Request Form, please select only one date for your son to visit.  

Students participating in a Shadow Day should be prepared to attend a full day of classes.  If you or your son's schedule does not allow him to be on campus until the 2:40 p.m. dismissal time, please select another day when his schedule would accommodate a full day's visit.
