The school hosts an Army JROTC program.() The mascot is the Raider and colors are green and white.() It features extensive sports facilities, including a large open-air astro-turf football field and a baseball diamond with conventional "dug in" dugouts instead of open air dugouts that you would find at other Howard County high schools. Atholton also has a large drama program, with its own dedicated stage, auditorium and related rooms. Over the years it has hosted many programs and talent shows, held outside of school hours and attended by students and parents alike. The second floor of the main building hosts multiple science labs. ==History== Atholton takes its name from a 600-acre land grant named "Athole" granted from King Charles to James McGill 17 August 1732. He built a nearby manor house named "Athol" built between 1732 and 1740.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/stagsere/se1/se5/015000/015600/015610/pdf/msa_se5_15610.pdf )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://msa.maryland.gov/megafile/msa/stagsere/se1/se5/015000/015600/015610/pdf/msa_se5_15610.pdf )〕 In 1845, Nicolas Worthington freed seventeen of his slaves, and gave them 150 acres of the "Athol enlarged" land which was then called "Freetown". The community was briefly a postal town named Atholton, Maryland. The school sites were later considered part of Simpsonville, Maryland, and later Columbia, Maryland. The Howard County school system was segregated since the building of the Ellicott City Colored School in 1888. The first Atholton school was a one room colored school house next to Locust Church given by John R. and Susie Clark in 1885. Students transferred to Guilford in 1939. School property was bought for $200 by the Locust Church. In 1941, and additional acre was not accounted for, then sold on a separate bid for $701 to Herbert M Brown. 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「Atholton High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
