About

Official facebook page for the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center housed in the historic former Phoenix Union Colored High School site.

Story

Phoenix Union Colored High School was established September 15, 1926 as a school for African Americans in the Phoenix Metropolitan area. The name was changed to George Washington Carver High School in 1943. Carver was created with the purpose of providing a high quality education for her students, as well as inspiring them to become the next generation of leaders. In 1954 Carver High School ceased as an educational institution. The George Washington Carver Museum and Culture Center is a privately owned community and culture center that seeks to educate, promote appreciation and respect for people of African/African American descent worldwide: with a special emphasis in Arizona.

Mission

Carver Museum carries out its mission through exhibitions, archives/collections and a variety of community educational programs designed to explore the roles of African derived Americans in shaping the history of Phoenix and the state of Arizona.
