The George Washington Carver High School for Health Professions, Engineering, and Technology is a high school in the Birmingham City Schools system. It is located at 3900 24th Street North in the North Birmingham community. The principal is Darrell Hudson.

In 2010 a new $4.2 million football stadium adjoining the school was dedicated. The Rams broke a 28-game losing streak to usher in a new era under head coach Billy Culver.
In 2011, Carver became the home of the city's "Academy of Engineering" and one of two locations for the "Academy of Health Science", under Superintendent Craig Witherspoon's plan to establish career academies in the city's high schools.
