Carver High School: First School Rebuild for Bond 2023

Disponible en:

The iconic George Washington Carver High School is the first school to be rebuilt as part of the 2023 bond that was approved by voters in November 2023. Located in the historic Acres Homes neighborhood, Carver High School was built in 1954 and is a source of pride for the community, the alumni, and the students who are currently attending there.

“With the excitement surrounding the successful passing of the bond, Carver High School is a top priority, becoming one of the very first projects to move forward,” Dr. LaTonya Goffney, Aldine ISD superintendent, said.

The early stages of design and development are already underway, and demolition will begin over the summer. With demolition on the horizon, Carver students and staff will temporarily relocate to Eisenhower Ninth Grade School, “Ike 9”, located at 3550 W Gulf Bank Road. Therefore, all Eisenhower Ninth Grade students will be relocated to Eisenhower Senior High School — in a separate wing functioning as their own school— located at 7922 Antoine Drive.

“We understand that these temporary changes may naturally lead to questions about the upcoming school year,” Goffney said. “But, we assure you that we are committed to providing our students and staff with a seamless transition to have a successful school year. We will have the same great programs, and the same outstanding teachers.”

One way the school district is providing a smooth transition is by making sure our students have transportation to and from school. If students need bus transportation, parents must submit a request via their Home Access Center (HAC) account or the campus by July 15. If students are currently bus riders, no submission will be required.

This is an exciting new chapter in the evolving legacy of Carver High School. The new high school is expected to be complete within two to three years, which will take less time than to build the school in phases. An informational parent meeting is scheduled for Monday, May 19, at 6 p.m. at Carver High School.
