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.

The Carver was filled with remarkable women whose leadership and contributions inspire our community—including our board vice president, Shannon Johnson, whose work continues to make a meaningful impact. Congratulations as well to NBA and Phoenix Suns legend, Eddie Johnson, on receiving the organization’s first Ally Award!
