High School (9th-12th)

Our Lady of Mount Carmel High School was established in 1959. The high school was opened to serve the students of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish, as well as the other local parishes, with a college preparatory curriculum. Today Our Lady of Mount Carmel continues its college preparatory tradition while also enrolling students from Baltimore City and Anne Arundel, Baltimore, and Harford counties.

The academic program at Our Lady of Mount Carmel is designed to meet the needs of our diverse student community. Each academic department provides learning opportunities that challenge students, as well as programs that support students who need additional assistance. Classroom presentations, student interactions, and varied assessments reflect an understanding of and respect for the individuality of the learner. There is a focus across curricular areas to prepare students to be independent, life-long learners. Technology is integrated into all areas of the curriculum so that students benefit from the primary source material and develop skills that result in the ethical and positive use of information.
