Below you will find the schedule for Illinois State required testing at Mount Carmel High School and Mount Carmel Jr. High School. Some of these dates have been moved due to school not being in session on April 8th.

Good morning,
Last night, the School Board approved amending the school calendar to not be in session on April 8th, 2024. This is the date of the eclipse. Due to the excitement and mobilization of entire communities for this event, it became clear that it would be too difficult to be in session that day. To compensate for not being in session that day, the Board approved being in session on April 1st, 2024. April 1st was to be the last day of spring break, but now it will be an attendance day. I hope this change will be beneficial to all of you.
Go Aces,
