George Washington Carver High School (Delray Beach, Florida)

In 1914, William Robinson wrote to Booker T. Washington for advice on how to get the school reopened.

At Washington's request, Clarence Walker came to an abandoned schoolhouse in Delray and opened the Delray County Training School using the Smith-Hughes National Vocational Education Act of 1917, which was devised to encourage agricultural training.

Agriculture was an important part of the curriculum, and the students farmed a 10-acre plot adjacent to the school and sold the produce to the public.

Buildings on the campus later fell into such disrepair that the Palm Beach County School District decided to tear them down.

Carver competed in the Florida Interscholastic Athletic Association, winning two state championships in football.
