Hello CGDA and all members, I just wanted to say that I am very "Happy" to see how you all have worked to keep us all informed about "The Rillo" and your hard work is very much "Appreciated. It gives me "Great Joy" to see all "Associations" realize we need each other to continue "Patton, Dragons and Geckos be recognized as "One". Patton Carver is about all "African Americans" who walked through that school and their "Family" members who were not so fortunate to enjoy the feeling. The Reunion is about "Educating" our younger generation about what struggles were absorbed to have that school belong to "US" in north amarillo. No matter what is said about what Carver was about"We All Paid A Major Price" to have that school taken from us and we all know why. As we all know the slogan from the opposition ( you already know the words) We can\'t beat them so we need to get them here with us. A very sad day for us all, but as we all see there was "Excellent Teaching" from our "Professors" Male and Female and there are some very "Intelligent" Individuals from those streets in the "Rillo. Keep up the good work on keeping us together and we will only get "Better And Stronger" as we proceed forward, I Love Our Direction.Much Love,Charles Bates aka CB.

Fellow class mates all over the world. Caver jr. sr. High School maked a impack on us and around the world.  My heart was charge, and spirit lifted by reading all messages from on black Amarillo.com . All you are doing well.               Cecil Carol Johnson pass on in 1982 our childern are doing great.

Hi everyone I only went to Carver for my seventh grade year. My sister was Sandra Johnson in my opinion the prettiest girl to ever attend Carver.

Precious memories how they linger, how they ever flood my soul.  I love reading all of the comments from the different Dragons.  Love to all of you and I pray to see as many of you as possible at the 2012 Reunion.  To God be the glory. 

It very refreshing to read the all the comments.Herman what  a great job identifying that rich history from which we come from being raised in Amarillo.  Athletics has been a very important part of my live.  Amarillo is the place where the foundation was poured.  Mr. Carter and Mr. Franklin where the first coaching for me as a very young athlete.  Herman and CGD thanks for the memories.

It is a real pleasure 2 see this site.It is a great tool 2 reach out and touch one another.May God Bless us all!!!Keep GOD 1st at all Times!!!Keep On Doing What U Doing!!!!! All Is Well!!!! " Keep The LOVE FLOWING!!!!

My I never believed this was happening in Amarillo, thanks to my dear friend Connie Dean Clewis Keith for hooking me up to the Black Amarillo.com  I really didn\'t know this is what\'s happening since I left in 1966.  I came back to Amarillo in 2000 because I promised Brenda Bucller BJ Kimsong as she was called to come to the reunion I came and it rained and was cold until the last day I had to leave.  But thanks to all who has helped with this website.  Hello Mr Roger Scott, Miss Foster,Nellie Mae Scott, you don\'t know how you really help me to cope with life.  May God bless and keep you all and thanks again.

Holiday Greeting Dragons,"Plant your own Garden and Decorate you Own Soul, Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.   Much love and blessed Holiday seasons."  I recieved my Carver Dragon Reunion 2012 invitation and I\'m making plans to attend.  Join me in June and let\'s celebrate the memories of  Carver Jr./Sr. Hight School. 

hi how have everybody been.

Go Drangons!! Class of \'62\'

Thanks, to all the teachers at Carver high and senior high that I would be in jail before I was grown.  That helped me to over come the things that was happening in my life at that time. Mr. Champion,Mr.Neal and also Mr. Avery.  The only person really helped me was Mr Johnny Stubblefield he introduced me to music, and classical.  I thank him every day.

Some of us really didn't know how blessed we were to have teachers and friends who really loved us.The words that was said to me once was you are going to drown in a sea of ignorance.Must admitt became angry but in true essence what was said you need to know that people perish due to the lack of knowledge.Man i think i've got it God Bless being a Carver Dragon for life matter of fact just don't know no better.Keep my wife and our childern in your prayers,some of ya'll might remember my wife Rita Henry Tharpe 27yrs of marriage now to all the unbelivers you know their is a God to bless this marriage this long.

Hello CGDA and all members, I just wanted to say that I am very "Happy" for all that you do. And Ray you are the hardest working man I know and I want you to know how much I Appreciate all that you do keeping us all informed.  May GOD keep Blessing you and all the CGDA staff.

The CGDA Basketball Shoot Out was absolutely magnificnt and I loved it. I would be more then pleased to host the event at the Y any time this event is scheduled. I love working with the kids and believes that the kids really enjoyed themselves, and had loads of fun. They were happy to receive the certificates, the trophies, and the ribbons. An even bigger hit was the raffle, in which two lucky kids won an autographed WNBA basketball from the Tulsa Shock and an autographed footbal from the NFL Dallas Cowboys organization. It is indeed an occasion the kids will never forget. Finally, I feel that CGDA is doing a wonderful thing in recognizing these kids.     Jenna Hodges Struble Executive Branch Director Teen and Arts Director Amarillo Family YMCA, North Branch 1330 NW 18th Phone: (806) 373-1811 http://www.amarilloymca.org/

 Who remembers when all the music teachers including Mrs. Bolden(Hilltop) Mrs. Foster and Mr. Subblefied sponsored Earl Grant to come and perform at Carver. It was awesome and a wonderful exposure to the world of music.

Thinking Outside the Box, is what this Web site does. I hope and Pray that others , young and ole will be inspiried to go beyound the Mental barriers  placed upon us, and embark on a journey soaring with Eagles above the level of mediocrity.   32.

I again was not able to attend this event due to medical issues, but my heart is there. I pray everyone had a safe trip getting there and returning home. I want photo's . Have fun ...

I love you guys and I'll always be part of you no matter where I am.

I had Fun at the Reunion...KUDOS to the planners and the attendees...I want to say thank you to the Amarillo Community for embracing the activities and the fun events at the reunion. My favorite was the parade and how genuinely happy and well received everything was for our people of Amarillo . I'm inspired to make a difference just based on the need in our community.....This spirit of caring can be instrumental in local efforts there in Amarillo and I will communicate and collaborate some ideas if anyone would, could, and should feel the need to give back.  There are so many opportunities in our city for growth starting with the mindsets of the people who live there....The reunion is only one vehicle that can drive change and innovation...we all can make a mark...Thank you Amarillo for the inspiration

Hello everyone...I just want to say it was such a joy to see so many people that I've known all of my life.  I didn't make it to Carver...for I was transferred at the end of my 4th grade year at North Heights to Emerson and then on to Horace Mann...but my brother "Ronnie Smith" was a Dragon. But...I just want to say it sure was nice to see so many of you...somr of you it has been many years.I do hope I will see you all again very soon. Lot's of love to all of you.The memories will never fade. Lots of hugs and kisses.

Hello Fellow Dragons, If you have not heard, Judy and Johnny Turner are seeking a "Write Your History" from all of us by August 15 to help begin the process of documenting the history of Carver Jr/Sr High from its beginnings at Patten and Douglas, through its closure in 1967.  Start asking questions of anyone you know who attended this year's reunion and make sure you get a copy of the form, fill it out, and return to Judy and Johnny by August 15, 2012.  Don't be left out of this important historic moment for our Dragon Family.  Love you guys.  

Stay true to your wisdom and beliefs.

This is a great website.   Please continue to provide the updates and things happenings in Dragon Nation.

Happy New Year 2015 God Bless each and everyone of you!

My name is Michael Collins and I left Amarillo in 1968 after I finished 6th grade at Hilltop. I grew up on Hughes street. Although I didn't get a chance to attend Carver High School that was my dream. My older sister Gwen Calhoun graduated from Carver. As a child I loved Amarillo, Hilltop, Carver and most of all football.  I wanted to be a Dragon so bad. I grew up watching Shanklin and my sister's boy friend Darnell Owens play in that blue and gold. I now live in Springfield, Illinois. Haven't been back since then but I consider myself a Dragon.

So honored and grateful to receive the 2015 Bonita A. Reynolds Memorial Scholarship (BARMS). Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to sharing my success with you all.   

Dear Members of the Carver Golden Dragon Association, My brothers, sister and I are excited to be attending this year's Carver High School reunion!  We are many miles away and rarely have an opportunity to catch up with everyone. Looking forward to seeing all of you!-Thelma Wyatt Cummings Moore

Just want to tell everyone hello and always keep God first in their heart, so everybody have a bless day
