Cole Harbour District High School is a Canadian public school in the Cole Harbour area just east of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. It is operated by the Halifax Regional School Board (HRSB), and is an International Baccalaureate (IB) world school, offering the Diploma program. ==History== Cole Harbour District High School was founded in 1982 by the amalgamation of Cole Harbour High School, founded in 1979, and Gordon Bell High School. The newer building for Cole Harbour High was used as the new location for Cole Harbour District High, and Gordon Bell High was repurposed as the Gordon Bell Building, a general-purpose adult education centre, which was also used as a temporary location for the students of Halifax West High School during the 2001-2002 school year, when its own building was unusable due to health concerns. As of January 2015 the Gorden Bell building has been demolished. Cole Harbour District High is seen in the hit series The Trailer Park Boys. It is used as the location to film the scenes that take place in the fictional Dartmouth Regional Vocational School (DRVS). CHDHS's unofficial rival school is Auburn Drive High School, with whom they play a football game against every Thanksgiving weekend called the Turkey Bowl. There have been few renovations to the school since its opening, except for the portable classroom which Yoga classes take place in, and the Family Studies lab on the 3rd floor. Cole Harbour District High School appeared on national news in the 1990s after a number of riots broke out at the school, alleged to be race-based.〔CBC article on racial conflicts – http://www.cbc.ca/newsinreview/dec97/coleharb/index.html〕 The school was temporarily shut down due to these events. The school was in the news again in March 2008, when brawls broke out in the school prompting a lockdown. Two students were arrested, another two sent to hospital. Though the cause is not completely clear, many think that it was race-based and resulted in 24 suspensions. Though the brawls only lasted one afternoon, some of the concerns that students and parents had in the 1990s were brought up again.〔CBC article on the March brawl – http://www.cbc.ca/canada/nova-scotia/story/2008/03/25/coleharbour-violence.html〕〔CBC article on the March brawl – http://www.cbc.ca/canada/nova-scotia/story/2008/03/26/coleharbour-suspensions.html〕 These concerns were again brought up in April, 2009, when another brawl took place after a fire alarm was pulled. One student was sent to the hospital for treatment and several suspensions were handed out. Three innocent African-Canadians were maced by police during this riot. In the spring of 2013, Cole Harbour High reappeared on national news following the death of Rehtaeh Parsons, as this was a school that Parsons had previously attended, she was enrolled at Prince Andrew High School at the time of her suicide. The incident raised questions about the school boards's lack of action against bullying. 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「Cole Harbour District High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
