Carmel High School is the school the members of Vocal Adrenaline attend, located in Akron, Ohio. It is first seen in the pilot episode when Will takes the Glee Club on a field trip to see Vocal Adrenaline perform Rehab and leave the New Directions in shock.

Vocal Adrenaline is taken very seriously, as shown when their coach, Shelby Corcoran, buys each member a Range Rover with money from the Carmel booster club. Also, according to Jesse, when you're in the glee club you don't have to do your homework anymore. They've won regionals five times in a row, beating New Directions the fourth time.

As of I Am Unicorn, they have no coach due the firing of Dustin Goolsby and their new coach is Jesse St. James in Saturday Night Glee-ver. They won at their 2011 Sectionals and 2012 Regionals, but lost to New Directions at Nationals. Their lead singer in 2012 was Wade "Unique" Adams but Wade/Unique transferred to McKinley. 

Carmel also has an Academic Decathlon Team which made it to Regionals. In 2011, they faced off against McKinley's academic decathlon team, The Brainiacs, losing to them at Regionals.
