Our 2026 football season came to a close Friday night with a 55-7 loss to St. Ignatius. We had a great season with a 7-4 overall record, a 5-1 conference record, and second place in the Upstate Eight West Conference. Thank you, fans for being part of a great season.

Easternmost part of North Aurora is over 35 miles from Mt. Carmel. Either we have rules or we don't.
Mount Carmel's Jordan Lynch: “These kids and these parents have a choice. For them to pass up a school in their district and come to Mount Carmel and pay tuition speaks volumes. And I think you need to check your own programs. Why are kids passing up your school? They have a choice."
