Rev. Frank D. Lewis, Chair
GWCRHSAA, Inc. Board of Directors
In the period of separate-but-equal, African American parents successfully organized and advocated for many years for a high school for their children. Beginning in October 1948, those students would finally travel from the counties of Orange, Madison and Rappahannock to attend the newly constructed school in Culpeper County, Virginia. Today's membership are the descendants of those dedicated parents, grandparents and community supporters.
Governed by a Board of Directors, we are a 501(c)3 nonprofit
corporation. We are sustained largely by donations and membership
dues, and we have one mission.
Effective January 1, 2020, yearly dues are $25. They are used to
help us fulfill our mission in two ways: awarding scholarships to
deserving students, and the development and educational
programming of the Carver 4-County Museum.
Our first newsletter of 2020 is 6 pages and may be downloaded
