It was opened in 1926 by the Phoenix Union High School District as "Phoenix Union Colored High School" but was renamed to "Carver High School" in 1943.
The building is currently used as the George Washington Carver Museum and Cultural Center, which is operated by the Phoenix Monarchs Alumni Association (named after the old high school's mascot).
