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.
The involvement with the students and community is fantastic. The administration is very informative and have the students best interest at heart.
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.
