The high school was a combination of three area schools that housed their high school grade levels with other grades: Rehoboth School, Lewes School, and Milton School. The district began construction of a new building to house Cape Henlopen High School in 1974 and in September, 1976 the new Cape Henlopen High School opened on Kings Hwy. The school was a model of 1970s architecture and echoed the educational sentiment of the day that called for minimal distraction in a classroom. The school had very few windows and the windows that it had were positioned in places where it would be difficult for students to gaze out of them during classroom time. It was possible for a student to enter the building at the beginning of the school day and not see the sunshine again until he or she left at the end of the school day. Over time the sentiments of educators changed again and, because the school was showing its age, when construction began on the new school (located on the same property of the current school) in 2007 the decision was made to make it as bright a place as possible. Construction of the new school was completed in the fall of 2009. The new Cape Henlopen High School incorporates energy efficient materials and state-of-the-art technology. The new school also incorporates a separate 9th grade academy and vocational wing, eliminating the use of the Ninth Grade Campus building. 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「Cape Henlopen High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
