Carmel High School (CHS) is a public high school in Carmel, Indiana, United States. The high school is part of the Carmel Clay School District and has an enrollment of 5,010 students as of 2015–16, making it the largest high school in the state of Indiana by number of students.
1887 was the year when the cornerstone for the first CHS was laid. It had been a building located on the south side of the town of Carmel. A second building was opened in 1922 on the present school site and housed students K through 12 until 1958. Only sophomores, juniors, and seniors attended the school from 1964 to 1995. The current high school building dates from 1958. Since that opening there have been five additional construction projects that have expanded and renovated the building. The 2005–2006 school year marked the opening of the newest addition, the Freshman Center. In 2012 the gym department was expanded into the Fieldhouse parking lot. That area includes a 10,000 square foot work out area as well as another indoor pool. On one of the top floors, they added an indoor track, to complement the already present running track, which lies atop the varsity gym.
CHS offers 20 sports in interscholastic competition. Students are also offered many extracurricular and intramural opportunities.
CHS has won the most Indiana state championships, now up to 128 total with the hundredth being the 07–08 girls' basketball state championship. In 2016, the Girls' Swimming and Diving team won its 30th straight state title. Also, the Girls' Swimming and Diving team holds the national record of the most consecutive state championship titles, inclusive of all girls' and boys' high school sports. Other notable streaks include Girls' Cross Country (1984–85 through 1988–89), Boys' Swimming and Diving (1989–90 through 1993–94), and Girls' Soccer (2000–01 through 2004–05) with five consecutive runs; Boys' Cross Country (1976–77 through 1979–80) and Boys' Swimming and Diving (2000–01 through 2003–04) with four consecutive runs. The Carmel High School Boys' Soccer team won the 2006 & 2010 state championship and finished ranked #2 nationally (2006) . They have won 7 Boys' state tennis championships, most recently in 2012. Carmel won its 8th (1978, 1980, 1981, 1986, 1989, 2007, 2011, 2016) state football championship on November 25, 2016 when the Carmel Football team defeated Center Grove High School 16–13 in overtime to win the Indiana AAAAAA State Championship. On March 1, 2008 the Carmel High School Girls' Basketball team defeated South Bend Washington to win the AAAA State Championship, increasing Carmel High School's total of state championships to 100.
