Little Known Black History Fact:
A big piece of Cy-Fair History is the Carverdale School, a segregated school from 1925-1970. In 1938, the school, then call Fairbanks Colored School, had its first official graduating class, which was up to the 6th grade. In 1955, the school grew to accommodate grades 1 through 12 and was renamed Carverdale School after the community. It was located where Highway 290 meets Beltway 8. The Carverdale School shut down in 1970 after the district was ordered by the federal government to desegregate in 1967.
