Irv Carter was a teacher of math and music in the Mountain View/Los Altos school district, who understood how much determination and hard work it took to turn around a poor academic record. He went out of his way to help students improve their skills and grades, and his sons created a foundation in his memory to help students like these. The foundation provides scholarships to graduating seniors who intend to further their education after graduating from high school.
Irval passed away in 1994 and Florence in 2000.
