My son has been attending Mt.Carmel now since kindergarten and he's now going to 4th grade. I love the school and how caring everyone is. I would like to thank Ms. Rhetta Duren for going that extra mile and making sure that my son does his best. Thank you.

We recently moved to Georgia from North Carolina. Our first concern was finding a good location for our daughter to attend school. We quickly learned that Henry county was were we needed to be, so we searched for a home and found one in Hampton Ga. We are extremly glad that our Daughter is attending Mt. Carmel. It is a good clean school, well maintained and well managed. The Teachers are kind, and the Administration is great. All though Georgia schools are not as tough as North Carolina schools Mt. Carmel is up there, our daughter was able to adapte to the curiculum well. Her Teacher also made extra work available to ensure that she was challenged, Thank You Mrs Green. I would recomend Mt. Carmel to anyone moving to the Henry county Ga area. D. Lowe

My son attends mt. Carmel elementary, and I have always been impressed by the positivity exuded by teachers and staff as well as by the wonderful learning activities that gage has had the opportunity to explore. This is a wonderful school, and mrs. Carmack rocks the sage world with field trips, banquets, and an exciting curriculum. Gage has also had the luck of having ms. Wilson, ms. Junger, ms. Lawrence, and ms. Phillips...All awesome, loving teachers! go mces!

I am not a parent, but I am currently student teaching at Mt. Carmel through my university. And all I can say is wow! I have been in a lot of different schools in many different counties, but nothing can compare with what Mt. Carmel is doing. This school is full of innovative teachers, caring staff/administration, and happy students. I honestly do not feel that I could have been placed in a better school. Mt. Carmel has,and continues to, exceed all my expectations!

Mt.Carmel is an excellent school! The teachers and staff are awesome. The principal is the best around! We are so fortunate that our children go to this school. We would not send them to any other public school in the county. What a blessing this school is to our family!

My oldest son has been with Mt.Carmel going on two years. I wouldn't have any other way. It is by far the best school he has ever attended. There is a lot of teacher/parent involvment and the line of communication is always open and I'm always kept up to date. Kudos Mt. Carmel for doing such an excellent job!
