Carver High School was honored to take part in a powerful and inspiring Teen Summit hosted by the FBI Birmingham Division alongside Parker High School! 💼🔍
Our students had the incredible opportunity to engage with FBI Special Agents and Professional Staff, learning firsthand about the mission and operations of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. From meaningful discussions to interactive sessions, it was a day filled with insight, inspiration, and empowerment.
We’re grateful to the FBI Birmingham Division for their hospitality and for bringing their mission—to “protect the American people and uphold the Constitution”—to life in such a dynamic way for our future leaders.
