Carmen High School of Science and Technology opened in 2007 as a small college preparatory high school with a rigorous liberal arts curriculum that emphasizes science. Students must take four full years of each of the following subjects: English, laboratory science, social studies/history, and mathematics (Algebra 1 and above). In addition, students take three years of Spanish or Spanish for Heritage Speakers and at least one full year of Fine Arts. Courses in engineering and Advanced Placement (AP) subjects are also offered and enrollment is not restricted. The curriculum also integrates the Eight Abilities (21st Century Skills) originally developed for college students by Alverno College. Each student works with his or her academic advisor to create an Individual Learning Plan (ILP) in which academic, personal/life, and financial SMART goals are set and plans and schedules for achieving them are made. After school and summer academic enrichment and support programs, including a mandatory 8th grade to high school summer bridge program, are offered to meet the needs of all students. Carmen HS students also participate in junior varsity and varsity athletic programs, a variety of clubs, and are required to complete 20 hours of community service each year. The original Carmen campus is located on the south side of Milwaukee and serves 320 students. Due to exceptional results and long waiting lists at the original campus, a second campus was opened on the northwest side of Milwaukee in August 2013. The new campus houses both a middle school and high school with approximately 60 sixth grade students and 140 freshmen. New sixth and ninth
grade cohorts will be added annually until the 2016-2017 school year, when 800 students will be served in grades 6-12.

A huge THANK YOU to the wonderful team from Milwaukee Public Library for joining our Carmen educators at our Southgate campus for professional development!

Our staff had the opportunity to explore valuable teaching tools, educational resources, and creative ways to support student learning.

And can we talk about all the FREE resources available to our students and families?! MPL staff shared a number of valuable resources that students and families can access from school, home, or the library!

📖 Libby, which offers thousands of eBooks and audiobooks!

💥 ComicsPlus for those who love comics, graphic novels, and manga!

🎬 Kanopy where students can explore an incredible collection of films, documentaries, and educational videos!

These are just a few of the many resources that make reading, creating, discovering, and learning more accessible (and FUN!) for our school community.

Learning doesn’t stop when the school day ends, and some of the best adventures begin with a library card! This is why the library will always be a magical place for our school community.

Thank you, Milwaukee Public Library, for helping us bring a little more magic into our classrooms!

Beginning-of-year photo dump is here!

The school year is officially in full swing, and there’s already SO much to celebrate across Carmen. ❤️

From students putting our new science labs to good use 🔬 and showing out in volleyball, cross country and more 🏐🏃🏾‍♀️, to Senior Sunrise memories 🌅, STEM Night, family engagement events, and even welcoming local media to campus to celebrate one of our incredible educators 🎥✨ — these first few weeks have been FULL.

This is just a glimpse of what’s been happening across our campuses. We love this school community, and we’re thrilled to be off to such a great start.

Our Carmen South Middle School families came together today for a special Hispanic Heritage Month Potluck, and we loved celebrating the cultures and traditions represented throughout our school community!

Families brought favorite dishes to share and with each one, a little piece of their heritage, traditions and community stories. Families got a special treat when student musicians from Carmen High School Southgate stopped by to perform! We love these moments when our campuses connect for fun events!

There’s much more family fun ahead at Carmen South Middle School! Stay tuned for upcoming family engagement opportunities, middle school athletics schedules, and campus events throughout the school year.

Next up: Join us for our Carmen South Middle School Open House on October 21 from 4–6 p.m at 2433 S. 15th St.

Carmen students visited Marquette University for an inside look at careers in Occupational Therapy and Speech-Language Pathology.

During their visit to the Occupational Therapy program, students went beyond learning about the profession and gained hands-on experience. They explored techniques used by occupational therapists, including working with therapeutic wax and learning how custom splints can help address injuries and support recovery. Two of our student-athletes even experienced the process firsthand, receiving custom splints for minor volleyball-related injuries.

Experiences like these help our students connect their interests to real career possibilities while giving them an opportunity to explore the college programs and pathways that can help them get there. If you’d like to host our students for a career site visit at your organization, let’s connect!

Thank you, Marquette University, for welcoming our students to campus and creating an engaging experience that brought college and career readiness to life!

We love to see our alumni shining!

Congratulations to Carmen Class of 2010 alumna and Brillantes co-owner, Brenda, on her recent feature in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel!

At Brillantes, she is helping create a future where every girl has the opportunity to play, learn, grow, connect, and achieve through soccer—building access and opportunity for the next generation of young women in Milwaukee.

We’re proud to see a Carmen alumna turning her passion into impact right here in our community. ❤️

Check out her story below! ⬇️

Through their team, Las Brillantes, coaches KB Pallo and Brenda Gonzalez help break down the barriers they faced as young soccer players.

Fall Athletics Media Day at Carmen Southgate!

Our student-athletes showed up with plenty of Phoenix Pride, supporting one another, cheering on teammates who were a little camera shy, and having a great time in front of the lens. This is community 💛

We even handed over the camera and let them capture a few moments themselves!

We’ll be sure to share official photos soon, along with more behind the scenes footage! Enjoy 🔥
