Catholic Central High School is a private, Roman Catholic high school in Troy, New York. It is located within the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany. ==Background== Catholic Central High School is a coeducational, college preparatory school, which, while grounded in tradition, prepares its students for their future. The school promotes academic achievement within the context of Catholic/Christian values. Through its program of Character/Peace Education, Catholic Central High School supports the development of the whole person and the unique gifts of the individual, and the formation of caring relationships, all based on the example of Jesus. Catholic Central High School was founded in September, 1923 by Bishop Edmund F. Gibbons, at the request of the Pastors from the parishes in Troy, Watervliet and Green Island. The school was located on Eighth Street in Troy before moving to its present location at 116th Street and Seventh Avenue in North Troy. The original Catholic Central High School has now become part of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. The first principal was Father Burns. The student body numbered 525 students. The first class graduated in June, 1924 and numbered thirty-two. When the doors reopened in September, 1924, there were 1,046 students registered in the high school. In 1953, Catholic Central purchased the Cluett & Peabody building. It had been used for experimental purposes in the field of textile research as a miniature textile mill. Beginning September, 1954, Catholic Central High School was relocated to its present-day campus in North Troy. In 1957, where once lay a vacant lot, soon became the Monsignor Burns Gymnasium. The basketball team no longer had to play its “home” games “away”. Today, the gymnasium houses not only the gym but cafeteria, stage for dramatic productions, a weight room and band room. Catholic Central High School educates students in grades 7-12 and offers a college preparatory/Regents curriculum along with the University at the High School program under the direction of the State University of New York at Albany. Advanced placement courses are also offered in several disciplines. Christopher Bott, the most recent principal of the institution has brought about many positive changes to the school atmosphere, including a new practice field, more coaching staff, and upgrades to the building infrastructure. 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「Catholic Central High School (Troy, New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
