History
Carson Middle School began as Carson Intermediate High School (CIHS), built in 1969. It was named for North Allegheny Senior High School's then-principal John T. Carson and served grades 9 and 10. In 1974, grades 9 and 10 moved to the current building of North Allegheny Intermediate High School. CIHS's name changed to Carson Middle School, for grades 6 to 8.
In 1994, Carson was named a Blue Ribbon school. To display this, a blue ribbon is shown above one of the entrances to the school.
There is also another middle school named Carson Middle School located in Tucson, AZ that is owned by the Tucson Unified School District and was built in 1967. It could be planned to close the school and the future of this school is in jeopardy.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of men’s opposition to women’s emancipation is more interesting perhaps than the story of that emancipation itself.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
“What has history to do with me? Mine is the first and only world! I want to report how I find the world. What others have told me about the world is a very small and incidental part of my experience. I have to judge the world, to measure things.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
