Carter Career Center
High school in Houston, Texas, US
Howard P. Carter Career Center was a high school in the Fifth Ward area of Houston, Texas. The school, serving grades 6 through 12, was a part of the Houston Independent School District.[1] The school served as a vocational school and pregnant girls' school. Carter Career Center had many students who are single parents. It had a day-care center that is supported by corporations, the state, the federal government, and foundations.[2] After the closure of Carter, the building housed the DeVry Advantage Academy.[3]
History
The campus, built in 1913, originally housed McGowan Elementary School, a school for white children.[4] On January 31, 1927 Wheatley High School first opened at 3415 Lyons Avenue in the former McGowan Elementary School building.[5] In 1949 Wheatley moved into a new campus.[6] E.O. Smith Education Center opened in the former Wheatley building in 1950. During the beginning of the 1979-1980 school year, E.O. Smith moved into its current facility.[4] Carter Career Center opened in the McGowen/Wheatley/Smith former building.[6]
In 2006, Kay On Going School's separate campus closed and the program moved into Carter Career Center.[3][7] A $4.5 million addition, funded through a 2004 bond issue, was opened in August 2007. This included culinary classrooms, high-tech laboratories, and a nursing school.[8]
