Dear Juniors, 

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year at Carver STEAM! I'm thrilled to greet each of you as you embark on what promises to be an incredibly significant year in your academic journey. As you enter your junior year, you're stepping into a critical phase of growth, challenge, and opportunity.

This year, our school goals are captured by our “70-85-90” initiative. These numbers represent our collective commitment to excellence and your success:

1. 70% of scholars scoring developing & above on GA Milestones EOC Assessments.

2. 85% Four-Year Graduation Rate.

3. 90% CCRPI Attendance 

To help us achieve these vital goals, and more importantly, to help you achieve your personal best, we ask that you engage in learning in the following ways:

1. Attend school daily and arrive on time, ready for the day’s learning experience.

2. Complete all assignments/projects given by teachers.

3. Read daily to develop a love for reading and to improve your literacy skills.

4. Inform us if you need additional support in any area or subject. We are here to help you succeed.

5. Prepare to take tests/exams such as EOC (if applicable), SAT/ACT, etc. Your hard work now will pay off for your future.

6. We expect you to succeed in school and start engaging in your post-secondary plans. This is your time to explore possibilities and set your path.

Junior Dues:

Junior Dues for the 2025-2026 school year are $175. This fee includes a Junior Class T-shirt, one  Prom Ticket, and participation in the Junior End-of-Year Activities.
