LATEST GWC COMMUNICATION

November 15th, 2024

Morning Team/Families,

We were made aware of an anonymous and concerning message directed at our school this morning. NOPD is on campus and is heavily involved with our response. While we are confident in our ability to secure our campus and keep our scholars safe we also understand the concerns of our families. As a result, and out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to send children home today and end our week early.

We plan to resume our normal school schedule on Monday, November 18th. As always, we urge families and staff to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity through Safe Schools Louisiana (safeschoolsla.com) or directly to law enforcement.

Take care,

Carver Administration

back to school 2024-2025

Each grade level has been scheduled at a designated orientation time and date. These mandatory orientation days are important and ALL scholars should plan to attend with their parents/guardians. Scholars and parents will meet GWC faculty, and staff, learn important school expectations and details from various entities, learn what is means to be a Carver Ram, complete and return any necessary paperwork, pay any school budgets, and more.

FIRST B LETTER GRADE IN CARVER HISTORY!!!

Scholars and families,

We are so proud to announce that the Louisiana Department of Education's SPS for 2022-23 showed Carver earning a "B" Letter Grade -- the first in our school's proud history. That distinction is the result of our entire school community showing up every day with our core values: Achievement, Kindness, Responsibility, Determination, Teamwork, and Enthusiasm. It's an accomplishment years in the making and one that reflects the hard work of so many Carver scholars, teachers, and teammates! Congratulations!!

We also celebrate:

Carver earned an "A" for academic growth for the 2nd year in a row. We are #1 in New Orleans!
Carver earned "Top Gains" honors for the 2nd year in a row. We are the only New Orleans high school to do this.
Carver earned an "A" in the graduation rate portion of SPS and showed the largest improvement in New Orleans.
Families, thank you for the trust you have placed in us to educate your child(ren). These accomplishments deserve to be celebrated widely!

We look forward to a strong week before the Thanksgiving Holiday.
