Carman-Ainsworth High School is a high school located in Flint Township, Michigan. It is the only high school in the Carman-Ainsworth Community School district. The current format of Carman-Ainsworth was preceded in time by two high schools in the district from 1967 until 1985, namely the Flint Carman Cougars (Navy Blue & Gold) and the Flint Ainsworth Spartans (Scarlet & Grey). Flint Carman competed in the Metro League in sports until 1975, when they outgrew the competition and joined the Big 9 Conference. Flint Ainsworth remained a member of the Metro League. The two schools were bitter rivals, until declining student counts forced the district to merge the two schools into one, forming today's Flint Carman-Ainsworth High School, housed in the old Flint Carman's campus at 1300 N Linden Rd. in Flint, MI. Sadly, the school colors were changed, a new 'mascot' was adopted, and the histories of the prior two schools were purged by the school district.
As of 2010, Flint Carman-Ainsworth totals over 1700 students in grades 9-12, with a demographic of about 60% white students and about 25% black students.
