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 Charles Willis.
The school was originally built in the late 1950s in the Collegeville neighborhood.
The present building was constructed in 2002 on part of the former Mineral Springs Park, which was obtained from the City of Birmingham in a land swap. The 166,000 square-foot building was designed by Giattina Fisher Aycock. Its hillside site resulted in a five-story building with the main entrance on the 3rd story. The building includes several professional education suites and laboratories along with an auditorium, library and 500-seat cafeteria.
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.
