Talk:George Washington Carver School (Coral Gables, Florida)

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This school is misnamed.

[edit]

I created this page based on when it was a Senior High School. As stated in 2014, if there needs to be a page dedicated to it being a middle school, then feel free to do the work of creating a different page dedicated to its middle school status.

Doesn't anybody see that this school is not named correctly? It is called GWC Sr. High School when it is actually a middle school. GroveGuy (talk) 06:24, 9 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I changed it to a middle school. GroveGuy (talk) 21:00, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you notice, this page is specifically being dedicated to George Washington Carver Senior High School, not the middle school. If you feel there needs to be a George Washington Carver Middle School page, then I think you should create a page as I did this one. There is a MAJOR distinction between George Washington Carver Senior High School and George Washington Carver Middle School because it doesn't not serve the same purpose.

Name changed back to Senior ?

[edit]

I see the name of this school was changed back to Senior from Middle. I invite Jayebook to explain this. - GroveGuy (talk) 07:45, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I Jayebook, the user created this page and put Middle on there and then I realized, "For what? When the purpose of me creating this page to create awareness of George Washington Carver Senior High School." Please remember the race of the people that held positions on the school board in the year of 1966-1967 school year, the majority of these people were not the people whose children attended George Washington Carver Sr. High School. So closing it down to a seventh grade center meant nothing to them. Because of this issue, I plan to CHANGE the years to represent the time period I speak of.

I looked through the history of this article. Jayebook created this article in 2009 as a Middle school. Then in 2010 he changed it to a Senior. In 2011 Spartan008 changed it back to a Middle. Jayebook changed it back again to a Senior. In 2012 SchirminWeb changed it to a Middle. And now, Jayebook changes it again back to a Senior. Maybe the solution is to have two articles; one for the Senior and one for the Middle. Anybody have any opinions about this? -GroveGuy (talk) 23:45, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with a two article solution because articles on both a Senior and a Middle would have their own means of meeting the required standards for article status. --Spartan008 (talk) 14:13, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is it actually two schools? Or the same school at different times? Or just a strange choice of name? Its not clear. noq (talk) 14:25, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the history of the school: http://gwcm.dadeschools.net/Historial_Information.html you can see it was founded at its present location in 1924 as a 1-9 Junior High. It became a Senior High in 1934. In 1966 it changed back to a Junior High (Middle School) which it is today.- GroveGuy (talk) 19:59, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the article would be improved

[edit]

if it included the facts that it was once George Washington Carver Senior High School and was the first high school for blacks in Miami. I put these in and they got taken right out. Here’s the documentation: http://gwcm.dadeschools.net/#aboutus deisenbe (talk) 12:47, 28 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
