Central-Carver Museum

"To serve as a catalyst for developing and implementing plans for the construction, operation and maintenance of the Central-Carver Museum, which will preserve and enhance the culture of the African American community."

Phase One of the Central-Carver Museum, which was completed in March of 2006, showcases the spirit of excellence and determination of Central-Carver High School administrators, instructors and students through archival information and an array of cultural activities. The Museum is located on the site of the former Carver High School.

The Museum meets community needs through activities designed to increase community involvement and pride. Activities will include tours, training, seminars, and special exhibits. The Museum encourages alumni participation in special events such as art exhibits, monthly observances, and local school events.
