Carmel class of ’71 donates plaque marking old school

A historical plaque shown here was unveiled Saturday to mark the location of the former Carmel High School (CHS) and recognize the two evergreen trees that still remain flanking a walk to the school. The CHS class of 1971 donated funds for the bronze plaque as they celebrated their 50-year reunion.
