The school gained national attention due to its football program and its 1988 football team, which originally won the Texas 5A state football title but was later stripped of the title due to academic violations affecting player eligibility.
- "Carter High" is also a 2015 American sports film directed and written by Arthur Muhammad that tells the story of the 1988 Cowboys football team at David W. Carter High School. The movie highlights the team's challenges, including racial prejudice, a grades controversy, and subsequent criminal activities by some players off the field that shadowed their athletic achievements. The film depicts the team's athletic success and the plight of some players facing consequences off the field.
These two elements together illustrate the cultural and historical significance of Carter High in sports, education, and media narratives around high school football in Texas. The school's football story was even tied into the broader football culture depicted in works like "Friday Night Lights".
