TikTok can’t get over huge Indiana school with fashion room, auto shop and natatorium
The size and amenities of an Indiana public high school were shown off in viral TikTok videos, and the internet is amazed.
The Carmel High School DECA club took TikTok viewers on a tour of the school, which offers plenty more than a typical high school.
Their gyms and cafeterias — plural — only touch the surface of what the Indianapolis-area school provides students. If the gyms weren’t enough, they also have their own wrestling room and natatorium, an indoor swimming center.
Carmel High School features a spacious auditorium and modern library, along with a cafe, planetarium and its own TV studio and live radio room.
The tour continued, as viewers got a peek into the school’s auto shop, wood shop and one of their many cooking rooms.
A second video showed multiple symphony rooms and rooms dedicated to fashion, e-sports and jewelry.
“Might as well be its own city,” one TikTok commenter said.
“This is where movies are filmed,” another said.
The videos captured the attention of TikTok, where they were viewed more than 6 million times. They’ve also circulated on Twitter, with one being watched more than 24 million times as of Wednesday, Feb. 15.
Carmel High School has an enrollment of 5,414 and is ranked among the top high schools in Indiana, according to U.S. News & World Report.
Carmel is also one of the wealthiest cities in Indiana, with a median household income of $115,109.
The tour was getting some commentators the itch to re-enroll in school.
“I’m 25 and I wanna go here,” one person said.
“Can I attend Carmel High School as a 20-year-old,” one commenter asked.
