George Washington Carver High means a lot to me, this is the only high school that I’ve ever attended as for other people they have transferred back and forth. My high school is the best school in the district to me. We have a very good and caring principal who cares about our education and our future. GW Carver allows all students to try to get any help with what they need in any subject or career path they want. Carver has so many different opportunities for their students and I am glad to become a Carver alumina in less than a year.
George Washington Carver has a very good campus and maintains safety requirements. Also Carver has a very nice Health Academy and Engineering Academy, they also work very hard to prepare all students for the ACT and even trade school. The teachers work very hard to help as much as possible.
Carver is a great school. It provides the students with excellent education with hard work and challenging courses that gives them an idea of how colleges is. They provides
pathways for different career choices and allow kids to double up on different courses such as the math courses. Most of the teachers are good at their job and encourage students to ask for help. The food for lunch isn't the best and they could have more sports and a better variety of clubs. Also they could allow students to have more freedom during school hours .
