Carver High School (full name George Washington Carver High School,[2] formerly known as Phoenix Union Colored High School)[2] was a public high school in Phoenix, Arizona, established to serve African-American students during a time of school segregation. The school was constructed in 1926.[3]
The school's building was the only one built in the state of Arizona, exclusively to serve African American high school students.[4]
Since 1996, the building has been home to the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center.[5]
