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. 

CELL PHONE POLICY

Cell phones have become increasingly distracting to the learning environment. We have experienced an increase in safety incidents and bullying that stem from inappropriate cell phone use on campus. Instead of focusing on teaching, teachers are competing for scholars' attention in classrooms. Our scholars do not yet understand that what they post on social media can have lasting effects on their futures. Alongside our parents and families, we take responsibility for teaching our scholars how to become more responsible and achieve the highest levels of academic success. By limiting access to their cell phones during the day, scholars will spend more time focusing on learning content and developing the social skills necessary for college success. We believe that our scholars can learn how to appropriately manage their cell phone use on campus when we explicitly teach them how to. This year, GWC will implement a tiered cell phone policy to help scholars build stronger academic and social habits.
