Dear Carmel Community,
In what feels like a blink of an eye, another school year has come to a close. We have had quite a journey during the 2021-22 school year, but this year ends with a more familiar sense of normalcy that we have not felt in the last two years. As we close the door on the 2021-22 school year, we eagerly open the door to the 2022-23 school year and its infinite possibilities.
Before we officially depart for the summer break, I would like to take this opportunity to share a few messages of appreciation and congratulations.
To our students, especially the Class of 2022, congratulations on an amazing year full of wonderful memories, growth, accomplishments and, of course, fun. Last night, we had the privilege of graduating 384 Carmel High School seniors who are more than ready to accomplish great things in their next chapter. We wish our seniors much success and happiness in the years to come and remind them to stay in touch! To all our students returning to our schools in the fall, we look forward to adding more wonderful memories with you in your next chapter with us.
To our incredible teachers and staff, thank you. Thank you for your adaptability, continued creativity, and commitment to meeting the needs of each and every student who entered our buildings, despite any challenges that came your way. You are the heart of our district, and we would not be able to do what we do without you. I remain immensely grateful for all that you do for our students every day.
To our Carmel parents and guardians, thank you for sharing your children with us and allowing us to help them grow every day. Our district has spectacular students and that stems from you as parents and guardians. Your support, partnership, and active involvement in your child’s educational journey are a testament to our shared desire for success for each district student. We look forward to continuing to work with you in new ways to ensure that continued success.
I wish you all an enjoyable summer break and look forward to seeing you back in the fall!
Best wishes,
Mary-Margaret Zehr
Superintendent of Schools
