Meet Carver’s 2025-2026 Student Ambassadors!

These students represent the best of Carver: Strong in academics, leaders in character, and full of Tiger pride. From football and JROTC to the band and cheerleading, Tigerettes, and Academic Decathlon, they reflect the many talents and communities that make us who we are.
