George Washington Carver High School was a public high school located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. This historically black school was named for George Washington Carver.

History

Cumming Street Senior High School opened in 1926. In 1938, a new building was built and it was christened George Washington Carver High School.

In 1964, the school encouraged its graduates to integrate Wofford College in Spartanburg, and a student, Albert Gray, succeeded in becoming the first black student at Wofford.[1]

In 1970, integration of public schools was forced by the federal courts. Carver merged with Spartanburg High School, which chose a new mascot and new colors. The Carver campus was changed to a junior high school.[2][3]
