Jostens online ordering ends in mid-April 2025, but MCHS recommends ordering early as their prices increase throughout the year.

 

Families can arrange to borrow caps & gowns, through Jostens, at no cost, or use a cap and gown from previous Mt. Carmel graduates or from an older sibling or friend.

Mt. Carmel Counseling Office Resources for Seniors

College Visits:  On-campus college visits are offered during the fall months through our Counseling department.  This is a great way to speak with admission staff or college staff and ask any questions you might have, and to discover more about a specific college.  Be sure to review the list of colleges visiting and sign-up for specific visits.  A list of colleges visiting can be found on the MCHS website or use this link College Visits.  For additional college and career information, visit the College and Career Resource page under the Counseling tab.  Be sure to check the often for a current list of events, and colleges visiting and to sign-up to attend specific dates.

 

When your student attains adult status at the age of 18 on his/her birthday, he/she is granted by law the right to sign all legal documents related to his/her education and to represent himself/herself in all educational matters. This includes school disciplinary matters, and participating in any serious legal processes such as IEPs or expulsions from school and excusing the student’s absences from school for the five allowable reasons to miss.
This also means that your student will be the sole person in your household receiving phone and email information from the school and school district as the adult contact. Important informational school communications will no longer go directly to parents/guardians.  If you and your 18-year-old would like to waive the 18 year-old rights and assign the parent/guardian decision-making authority, the waiver for doing so is listed on our 18-year-old rights page for printing and signature. Please read more detailed information about 18-year-old rights, rules and procedures and the waiver on our webpage: 18 Year-Old Rights

 

This signed waiver form should be turned in to the MCHS Administration building to Mayra Lizarraga, in the Attendance Office.
