Carmen Schools of Science and Technology

That sums it up: we had good times together. Don’t forget that. ❤️🎓

The Class of 2026 walked the stage at our Northwest, South High, and Southeast campuses for the final time, closing an important chapter in Carmen history.

These students helped shape the culture, traditions, and memories that define our network. While we say goodbye to familiar buildings and celebrate the end of an era, we do so with immense pride for the legacy our graduates leave behind and excitement for all that lies ahead.

As our graduates take their next steps, we’re also looking forward to welcoming our rising 9th graders from Carmen South Middle to Southgate as founding students of a new chapter in the Carmen story.

Enjoy these moments from graduation day, and thank you to the families, staff, and community members!

What happens when more than 750 future Carmen Southgate students come together before the first day of school? You get Southgate Rising.

This special experience, brought to life by our student ambassadors and Carmen leaders, welcomed future Southgate students to build connections, learn about school culture, participate in team-building activities, and start forming friendships that will carry into the new school year.

The excitement for Carmen Southgate is growing, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone back in the fall. ❤️🐦‍🔥🔥

Dear Class of 2026. We miss you already!

We can’t wait to see you do even greater things 🥺🫶🏾

Happy Carmen Day!

Students and staff across Carmen participated in Carmen Day, our annual network-wide day of service dedicated to giving back to the communities that pour so much into us. This special tradition places our students in organizations across Greater Milwaukee where they can lead through service, build connections, and make an impact.

This year, our students served at more than 20 organizations throughout the city, cleaning community gardens, leading literacy and art projects at local elementary schools, supporting land conservation efforts, and packing food for families in need. At Carmen, community engagement is central to who we are. It’s a core value that brings us together and empowers our students to shine through acts of service and leadership.

Our students and staff were hosted by , , , , , and to name a few!

To our many host organizations, thank you for allowing us to serve!
