}} The Old Academy of Richmond County was a high school listed on the National Register of Historic Places located in Augusta, Georgia, USA. Originally known as Richmond County Military Academy, and commonly known as Richmond Academy, it was chartered in 1783. This makes it the fifth oldest existing public high school in the United States, and the oldest existing public high school in the Southern United States. Richmond Academy is located at the edge of the Summerville district of Augusta. ==History== Initially an all-male, privately funded school, it became a military school after the Civil War. Richmond Academy transitioned into a co-educational, traditional high school during the last half of the 20th century. The school retains a large Army JROTC contingent. President George Washington attended graduation ceremonies at ARC in 1791. In 1926, the academy moved to its present-day building on Walton Way. Then-principal Major George Butler described the school in 1927 as "second to none in the South in terms of facility." The 1926 building of the school has a Gothic-style architecture. Up until the 1950s, ARC was for white males only. During the 1950s the school became coeducational. In 1964, the school lost its status as a segregated school. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Academy of Richmond County」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
