Welcome!
Read below to learn more about all that the Parents Club does!
You can pay your dues by clicking here by August 18!
Our mission as the Parents Club is to support the parents, the coaches and our runners as they train and compete throughout the season.
We exist to enhance each and every runner’s experience, regardless of ability level, each and every year!
Participation in cross country at Carmel High School is an amazing team experience.
The runners form deep bonds as they are supportive of one another.
While they develop unity, accountability and common vision as a team, individually they develop physical strength, mental toughness, and determination as they each pursue personal goals.
And not only that – they come away with extraordinary memories and lasting friendships! There truly is nothing out there quite like cross country.
Some of the ways the Parents Club supports our team:
- In a regular season, we create and post locker signs on every runner’s locker to help them celebrate their accomplishments!
- In a regular season, we provide race snacks and drinks for runners and families at the Carmel XC Parent Hospitality Tent.
- The Parents Club hosts the end-of-season banquet, where we have a meal together and celebrate the entire season and especially honor our seniors and coaches.
- The photography team is a committee within the Parents Club that works to capture at least one great picture of every runner throughout the season and post to our Shutterfly Share Sites.
- We design, with the help of student leaders, spirit wear each season and distribute it.
- We design yard signs and banners and distribute.
- In a regular season, we host the start-of-season cookout and often include a food drive.
- We organize the State meet send off.
- We offer scholarships to seniors each year.
- We offer senior gifts and posters each year.
- We offer coaches’ gifts at the end of each season.
- We coordinate our social media accounts.
- We run the brand new Carmel Cross Country website, which will grow in time to house all the information our parents and runners can possibly need!
- And much more!
How can you help?
We are always looking for more support, and welcome your help in whatever areas you feel you’d like to contribute!
The most important first step is to be sure that you pay your dues! Dues go towards all of the above and are essential to a successful season.
And beyond that, there are committees in so many areas, from hospitality and the parent tent to photography to locker signs, and more! You can always come back to this page, as needs arise we will share that information here and offer sign up opportunities!
