Mount Carmel High School is an all boys, Catholic high school in the city of Chicago, Illinois. Located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago, the school has been operated by the Carmelite order of priests and brothers since 1900. Several priests and brothers who teach at the school live in the nearby Saint Cyril Priory, though most of the staff consists of lay teachers. Mount Carmel is probably best known for its athletics program, which includes one of the historically best football teams in the state of Illinois. Numerous alumni have gone on to careers in the National Football League such as Donovan McNabb and Simeon Rice, and three former head football coaches went on to notable college head coaching careers. Alumni have won all four major professional team sports championships in North America. At least three former students have competed in the Olympic Games. Mount Carmel is occasionally confused with Carmel High School in Mundelein, Illinois, and Mount Carmel High School in Mount Carmel, Illinois. The former is also a Carmelite school, while the latter is the town of Mount Carmel's only public high school. LESS
