Garland V. Stewart Middle Magnet School, normally referred to as "Stewart", originally opened as Don Thompson Vocational High School in 1945 on West Spruce Street in Tampa, Florida. The Building later housed Blake Highschool before becoming Stewart. The school is named in honor of Garland V. Stewart, the first African American to serve as Assistant Superintendent for the School District of Hillsborough County. Stewart currently has approximately 950 students in grades 6-8.
