A heartfelt thank you to our 2025–2026 Carmel Education Foundation Teacher Engagement Council for their leadership, collaboration, and commitment to strengthening connections across Carmel Clay Schools this year. 🍎👏

Comprised of educators representing schools throughout the district, the Teacher Engagement Council helps CEF remain a strong and supportive partner to CCS while fostering positive relationships across school communities.

We also want to extend special recognition to Kristine Amick as she prepares to retire from the CEF Board this July. Kristine served as Chair of the Teacher Engagement Council Committee and as a dedicated member of the Grants Committee, making a lasting impact through her leadership and support of students and educators. 🌟

The CEF Business Challenge, presented by State Bank, brought together some of Carmel High School’s brightest young innovators for a hands-on entrepreneurial experience focused on creativity, collaboration, and real-world business skills.🌎

Students worked alongside CHS business teachers and Carmel-based business mentors to develop, refine, and pitch their business ideas in a competitive setting that challenged them to think like future business leaders.📈

Congratulations to all of the students who participated and to this year’s first, second, and third place winners! 👏💡
