History

The first school for negroes in Pascagoula, known as "the Coloured School", was opened in 1890. In 1904 it expanded to two rooms. The school was later moved and renamed Pascagoula Negro Carver High School, then later renamed Carver High School. The first graduating class to attend all the way through was in 1941. In the 1970-1971 school year when the schools were integrated with the previously all-white Pascagoula High School, forty-two black students attended the integrated school. [2]
