The school is located at 211 S. J St. and was built in 1924. The principal at McCarver will lead the search for a new name. A committee will be selected, and a report will be submitted to the superintendent. The committee will survey families, students, staff, alumni groups, and the community. It will also develop the rationale for a new name. The school board will then accept or reject the name.
Two Tacoma schools were recently renamed because of racist concerns. Jason Lee Middle School was renamed Hilltop Heritage Middle School, and Woodrow Wilson High School was renamed Dr. Dolores Silas High School in 2021.
