Welcome to G.W. Carver High School’s S.T.E.M Magnet Program
Welcome to the Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics Magnet Program of George Washington Carver High School. The STEM Magnet Program is a program designed to equip our youth with the skills needed to be proficient and prepared for a post-secondary study and the 21st century workforce. The STEM Magnet Program is a rigorous, project-based program but also includes educational field trips that offer our students opportunities to learn more about STEM related careers. Each magnet student is to fulfill all magnet requirements as well as participate in extracurricular and community activities.
In our STEM Magnet program, our magnet students are given opportunities to earn college credits while also receiving a high school credit through the choice of taking Advanced Placement courses held within the school or Dual Enrollment courses with Columbus State University, Columbus Technical College, and Georgia Military College.

Senior Project
The purpose of our STEM Magnet students completing this project is to increase both teaching and learning. Students are required to complete a culminating project, as one of the requirements to fulfill gaining their STEM diploma seal. The project provides an opportunity for students to explore an interest of topic in the areas of Science, Technology, or Mathematics. By completing the project, students have a real-life experience that can help them in their next adventure in life (college, job, entrepreneurship, military, internship, etc.).
