Mount Carmel Academy or Mt. Carmel is an all-girls, private, Catholic high school in the Lakeview area of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. It is located in the Archdiocese of New Orleans. It is conducted by the Sisters of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, who have educated young ladies in New Orleans since 1833.
The campus of Mount Carmel is located in the Lakeview area in New Orleans at Robert E. Lee Boulevard, between West End Boulevard and Canal Boulevard.
Mount Carmel's sports teams are known as the "Cubs", and its school colors are brown and white. The school is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Louisiana Department of Education.
The Sisters of Our Lady of Mount Carmel began in Tours, France, focused on a mission of educating young girls. Julie Thèrése Chevrel joined the community in 1825, and immigrated to New Orleans in 1833, and the sisters began to educate young women in Southern Louisiana.
In 1916, Mother Clare Coady built the foundation for the present-day Mount Carmel Academy by establishing accredited high school programs and requiring that sisters receive the proper professional teaching training.
Sister Mary Angela Duplantis was the first principal of the school from 1926 to 1955. In 1955 through 1980, the second principal Sister Mary Grace Danos expanded the school.
Beth Ann Simno served as vice-president and vice-principal under Sister Camille Anne for many years, and in 2014, she became the school's fourth principal. Sister Camille Anne is currently continuing as the school's president.
