The Belfry, Kentucky location (1938-2005), which now holds Belfry Middle School, ran next to U.S. Route 119 for .5 miles. The campus consisted of the Belfry Area Technology Center at the north end, the "Science Building" (a three-story multi-use building which held media and science classrooms as well as the school's library), the "Main Building" (offices, classrooms, cafeteria, drama department), the Special Education building (located at the back of the Main building), the "Music Building", a 2400-seat gymnasium structure, an athletic complex, and the football stadium. At this campus, the school used the baseball facilities at nearby Hardy Park to host home games. At this location in 2005, Belfry was housed in one of the oldest structures in the Pike County Public School System. At the end of the 2005 year, a new campus was completed closer to the West Virginia border on U.S. Route 119 near Forest Hills. This campus consists of a consolidated building that housed all of the educational facilities as well as the gymnasium and a new 600 seat auditorium. Also located on the campus is a 5500-seat football stadium, a soccer field, an athletic complex, a baseball field and a softball field. Belfry, along with Phelps High School and Pikeville High School in Pike County are the only schools that have not been formed as a result of consolidation. 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「Belfry High School (Belfry, Kentucky)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
