Back to school: ABC7's Jasmine Minor goes back to Carmel Catholic High School

MUNDELEIN, Ill. (WLS) -- School is back in session and some are getting the chance to walk down memory lane.

Jasmine Minor is sharing some of her favorite high school memories from Carmel Catholic.

The school has grown quite a bit over the years, but I was happy to see the love remained the same.

First stop: Mr. T and his new engineering department with 3D printers and robots and students solving the world's problems.

"We're creating an environment where they get to just go crazy," Mr. T said.

It wasn't the only thing that was new to me.

From their very own news network, to a girls flag football team and no longer needing to tuck shirts in.

"That's a new rule," Carmel senior Kelly Lamb said.

But some things you can't change, like the very heart of Carmel, sweet Mrs. Gille.

"One of your sisters, hands me a card and said, 'we don't get to places we are without people like you behind us,'" Susan Gille said.

I was taught the value of leaving my own mark, like a tennis singles state championship, but more importantly, the art of giving back.

Even if I ended up a little sore today, no matter how much has changed, Carmel still has the same spirit, the same faith just as I left it.
