A series of videos about the teachers and students of Montgomery County Publics Schools in Maryland

For many students and staff, Carver was more than a school. It was the center, along with family and church, of their lives. Community members supported the school in numerous ways, attending sports events and assisting staff.

Students turned to Carver for their friends and for the strong network of support offered by the staff. Teachers, as well as the principal and vice principal, lived in the community – some of them had grown up in the county – and typically knew many if not all of their students’ families. In fact, faced with limited options in the segregated housing market of Montgomery County, some of the teachers boarded with students’ families.

So much a part of the social fabric was Carver that in the early years of desegregation, African American students enrolled at other high schools returned to Carver for their social activities and the camaraderie. As an integral part of the community, Carver attained an importance that reached far beyond its educational function.

In Montgomery County Public Schools, Flora Singer, William B. Gibbs, Jr. and Roscoe R. Nix have elementary schools named after them. Learn about these women and men and their contributions to our community and our school system in these videos.
