As part of Mount Carmel Academy’s commitment to STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, and Math), the junior class annually participates in Junior STREAM Day, where they explore various organizations within these fields. This experience allows students to apply classroom lessons to real-world situations, interact with experts, and uncover new interests, leaving them with lasting and inspiring memories.

The day following Junior STREAM Day, students visit The National WWII Museum, where they delve into artifacts, archives, and oral histories related to World War II.
