Teams

Mt. Carmel's athletic teams are nicknamed the Golden Aces and the school's colors are maroon and gold. The school received the nickname during the 1915-1916 basketball season. Before then, the school's athletic teams were called the Maroon & Gold. The boys' basketball team participated in a tournament in the Wood River area and won the tournament championship. A sportswriter for the area said that the team played like "Five Golden Aces." The players and students like it and teams have competed as the Golden Aces ever since.

The Aces have been competing in the Little Illini Conference since 2021, after departing the Indiana based Big Eight Conference which has since folded. In the years between leaving the Big Eight Conference and joining the Little Illini Conference, Mount Carmel competed as an independent school following the disbanding of the North Egypt Conference.
