About Us

George Washington Carver High School is among the top four out of the nine high schools in Muscogee County that improved their 2016 Graduation Rate. Our STEM school has increased the Graduation Rate for the second year showing growth from 76.4% in 2015 to 89.5% in 2016.
“It takes a team effort to bring out the best in our students, and we treat all students like our own children…”
“We track our students in school and out of school, and we refuse to let our students use excuses to give up on improving their lives through education and thinking beyond high school and the immediate community. In addition, G.W. Carver alumni, of all ages, come to the school to engage, to encourage, to support and to show each of our students that you can go anywhere from here.”
