The emblem of Our Lady of Mount Carmel High School consists of the outline of the national flower of Belize, drawn in a golden hue - the Black Orchid (Encyclia cochleata), with the name and year of foundation of the school inscribed in its periphery. The silhouette of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, patroness of the School, is visible at its uppermost lip. Its centerpiece shows the mahogany tree representative of the tree of knowledge, with the sun, symbolic of the Eternal Truth, contrasted against a marine blue background. The four appendages of the orchid are indicative of the four communities in the parish that are served by the school. The legend with the transcendentals - Beauty, Truth, Goodness, and Unity, by which the family at Mount Carmel High is governed, adorns the body of the emblem.
