George Washington Carver Military Academy is a public 4–year military high school located in the Riverdale area on the far south side of Chicago, Illinois, United States. Carver is named for African-American scientist and educator George Washington Carver. Carver opened in 1947.HistoryCarver was founded in 1947 as a neighborhood high school, when in 1999 Chaplain Lt. Colonel Antonio R. Daggett, Sr (Military Commandant) United States Army was called upon by Creg E. Williams (Chicago Public Schools Director), Paul Vallas (CEO of Chicago Public Schools) and Richard J. Daley Jr. (City Mayor) with community support to begin the transition into becoming a military academy by 2004. In establishing Carver Military Academy, Col. Daggett founded the second public military high school in the United States, and the first public military high school in the country that was transitioned from an existing general public high school. The initial graduating class of cadets referred to (and then named) the flag hall outside the auditorium " Daggett Domains" as a result of Col. Daggett's decision to display all state flags there. Chaplain Col. Daggett, who at that time was an Army Major in rank and a father of eight children, devoted himself to prayerfully securing community support, and ensuring that the new Military Academy remained for the community, by the community, and through the community.
