• Overview

Carver High School, which is operated by the School District of Philadelphia, handles grades 9 through 12. Carver High School is a magnet school with a curriculum that specializes in science and technology. The goal of this curriculum is to produce graduates who will be successful in their pursuit of higher education in specific subjects. ^[1]

The High School of Engineering and Science was a dream of its founder and principal Dr. Alvin Garblik. The first class began in 1979, and had a strict dress code and curriculum. ^[1]

Those that were in the first class attended classes in Stauffer Hall, a ten-story building no longer in existence, then located at the Southeast corner of Broad and Columbia streets on Temple University's campus. The school moved between the 82-83 and 83-84 school years to its current 17th and Norris location, which had previously been an elementary school. ^[1]

It was Dr. Garblik's belief that students should come to school dressed and act in a way that modeled real life in the business world. ^[1]

The first year students enjoyed higher end classes learning advanced Chinese, physics and computer sciences. ^[1]

"High School of Engineering and Science is a small, nurturing, special-admissions school, seeking to attract academically-talented students who have an interest in science, engineering and technology." --- The mission statement of High School of Engineering & Science ^[1]

The principal is Linda Ahmed and the assistant principal is Christina Murianka. ^[1]
