Dear Carmen community,

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of one of our beloved Carmen alumnae, Daniela Castorena De Leon, a member of the Class of 2021 and recent graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.

We are grateful that she will forever be part of the Carmen family and the legacy of our alumni community. We hold her family, friends, former classmates, and all who knew and loved Daniela in our thoughts as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.

If you feel inclined, please share a fond memory of Daniela in our comment section to honor her.

This week, our campuses are welcoming families for Back to School Nights, and next week, we welcome our students back for Bridge as we prepare to officially begin a milestone 20 years of Carmen.

For two decades, Carmen has remained committed to our mission of graduating students as critical thinkers and self-directed learners prepared for success in college, meaningful careers, community involvement, and family life. We begin this next chapter—with new and transformed campuses, expanded opportunities for students, new programming, and a continued commitment to educational excellence in Milwaukee. We’re excited about what’s ahead!

”We are feeling really positive,” said Aaron Lippman, CEO of the Carmen schools. “We are in a really good position as we enter our 20th year to execute on our mission.”
