About George Washington Carver High School
Reverend J. J. Reinhart established the Navasota Colored School for African American students around 1865, and a new brick building erected in 1942 became George Washington Carver High School. After Navasota High School fully integrated in 1968, the building continued as an elementary and later middle school until 1974. It served the city's Black community for decades.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at George Washington Carver High School
Around 1865, reverend J.J. Reinhart established the Navasota Colored School for African American students. After several buildings were destroyed by fire, a brick building was built in 1942. A few years later, the school became officially known as George Washington Carver High School. After Navasota High School fully integrated in 1968, the building served as an elementary and later middle school until 1974. In August 1996, the building reopened as the Carver Learning Center for Alternative Education. In 2008, the school district deeded the building to the school’s alumni association. It now serves as the Carver Community Center for tutorials, summer camps, and other events. (2017) Source: https://atlas.thc.texas.gov/Details/5507018780
