Carver Basic-Skills Math-Science Magnet Elementary School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Carver Basic-Skills Math-Science Magnet Elementary School, originally called East End, the first Carver School was a four-room schoolhouse built in 1924. (East End shows up in School Board minutes as early as 1912.) A second structure was built at 800 Apperson Street in 1949; it now houses the district's Alternative Learning Center. The present Carver Elementary building, at the present address, opened in 1988 and officially was dedicated in May 1989. Carver Elementary is named after George Washington Carver.
The new Carver Magnet Elementary building is "U"-shaped, representing a magnet, with specially designed rooms for science, math, art, music and physical education; it also has a computer lab and a star lab planetarium. Carver was established as a magnet school to enhance educational, cultural and social opportunities for all students. Exemplary programs[citation needed] in math, science, computers and the core subject areas were developed to attract parents and students to the school.
