The Principal Talks about the Mission of Carver High School:
At Carver High School we support the townspeople’s belief in their children’s importance as individuals and capacity for future success. In order to support the continued development of the Carver High School students in becoming creative, outgoing, and committed to excellence, we are committed to acting as partners with students, parents/guardians, faculty, and staff, in the evolutionary process of education. The focus of academic preparation for students in grades 9 and 10 is distinctly different from that of students in grades 11 and 12. All underclassmen focus on developing their skills and deepening their content knowledge in core academic subjects and four semesters of Comprehensive Health. It is our expectation that students will complete grade 10 with improved study skills, immersion into the demands of the CHS Academic Expectations and successful completion of the ELA, Mathematics and Science Technology MCAS exams. Having completed their Comprehensive Health and MCAS requirements, upperclassmen in grades 11 and 12 focus on their transition to post-high school academic studies and careers. All juniors and seniors use their improved study skills to master content and demonstrate their intellectual, personal, and social growth by graduation. Electives have been designed for juniors and seniors that emphasize course work that will be applicable for student’s lives after high school. An internship program is available to seniors in order to meet their transitional needs. | By asking students and teachers to focus on the very specific needs of the different grade levels, we believe that we are strengthening our educational program and increasing the opportunities for all of our students when they leave Carver High School. We are working to fulfill our mission of providing, “an evolutionary process of education,” and assisting our students to meet “the changing needs and increased expectations of our town, our state, and our global society.” |  |
Carver High School also offers a wide range of co-curricular activities to support our students in attaining the schools social and civic expectations. Through these activities students have the opportunity to demonstrate an understanding and appreciation for the similarities and differences among individuals. Through their active involvement in co-curricular and athletic programs students participate in authentic activities that will make a contribution to both the Carver High School community and the community beyond the high schools doors. We look forward to working with you as partners in the challenging process of education. Scott Knief, Principal
