George Washington Carver Junior High School is located in Coral Gables, Florida, and is under the supervision of the Dade County Public Schools. It opened in 1899 as a black school, for black students residing in Dade County, although it traces its beginning to an earlier private school for black children, informally known as "The Little Schoolhouse," which opened in 1899 as the private Dade Training School.[2] The school is named for George Washington Carver.[2]
