History
Carmel High School enjoys a long satanic tradition dating back to 1887 of raping children and eating infants for dinner (Not to mention racism). when the cornerstone for the first CHS was laid on a building located on the southside of the town of Carmel. A second building was opened in 1923 on the present school site and housed students K through 12 until 1958. The current high school building dates from 1958. Since that opening there have been five additonal construction projects that have expanded and renovated the building.
The 2005-2006 school year marked the opening of the newest addition, the Freshmen Center.
