The \u201cNight with the Knights\u201d is the AlumKnight Association\u2019s annual event aimed to help raise funds for Mount Carmel School. Additionally, the \u201cNight with the Knights\u201d is part of Mount Carmel School\u2019s Catholic Schools Week celebration dedicated to \u201cCelebrating Our Alumni.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since 1998, Mount Carmel School has granted special awards to individuals and AlumKnights who have distinguished themselves as leaders in business, government, and the community and who represent the school\u2019s trademark values of faith, excellence, and success. The 2022 AlumKnight of the Year will be recognized, along with the AlumKnight Class of the Year, Parent of the Year, Legacy Teacher of the Year, and the Millennial Falcon of the Year at the annual \u201cNight with the Knights\u201d fundraising banquet.

1990 AlumKnight and association member John S. Blanco added, \u201cWhile the event celebrates AlumKnights, we invite all community members to celebrate with us.
