When our 8th graders visit Daniel Morgan Technology Center, their eyes are always opened to new career opportunities that they can begin training for as soon as they enter high school. Did you know that Daniel Morgan has increased their offerings to include training for a commercial drivers license! We want our students to live with purposeful work and wages where they can provide for themselves and their future families. These career offerings certainly are a pathway to that. #OurStory #OurVoice #OurExcellence

Our Chamber Orchestra was out on the town last night! These musicians went out for dinner and the Furman Orchestra Concerto Concert! They even let their Principal tag along. It was a beautiful evening together filled with laughter and excellent music! #OurStory #OurVoice #OurExcellence

It's School Resource Officer Day and what a gift we have in Officer Wright! She is truly a partner in our work. She is essential to our mission and vision. She does her job and soooo much more. She's special and we're grateful to have her. Carver is better because of her. #OurStory #OurVoice #OurExcellence

Do you think frogs have the same digestive system as humans? Why or why not? This is one of many inquiry based questions our 6th grade students are answering in science as they explore the systems of the body. In Dr. Lockamy's class they had the opportunity to virtually dissect a frog and find out the answer for themselves! #OurStory #OurVoice #OurExcellence

As we celebrate Black History Month we're asking our students to do two things. First, think about what inspires them from Black History and make it come to life in their own way! Poetry, Spoken Word, Song, Visual Art, Poster, Essay, Book Cover, Tik Tok, Podcast, Commercial, Social Media Post, Interview etc. We've already had a number of submissions such as this beautiful poster by 6th grader Skiilar Oliver! Encourage your child to submit something that may get highlighted as well! Second, we love to continue to share the great legacy and history of Carver and this community! We have some great plans to explore more of our local history as well. Stay tuned! #OurStory #OurVoice #OurExcellence
