Comstock High School is a secondary school within the Comstock Public School District located in Comstock Charter Township near the city of Kalamazoo, Michigan, United States. Comstock High School primarily serves the western half of Comstock Township, as well as portions of Kalamazoo Township, Pavilion Township, City of Portage, and the City of Kalamazoo. Enrollment at Comstock High School averages around 650 students (2,500 students district wide). Students within the district have the option to enroll at Comstock Compass High School which is an alternative to the traditional high school classes provided at Comstock High School. Comstock High School was named one of Americas best high schools by the US News and World Report in 2010.〔(Best High Schools in the US | Top US High Schools | US News & World Report )〕 ==History== A high school was established at the Comstock Village School in 1906 following the consolidation of the Comstock School District with five neighboring districts. Prior to 1906, students in Comstock Township would have to travel to Kalamazoo or Galesburg to attend high school. Eight students graduated from Comstock School in 1908, making up Comstock's first high school graduating class. Conflicts between the residents in the community eventually lead to the dissolution of the consolidated district in 1916, including the high school at Comstock School.〔Documentary - "Comstock public schools : there's no better place to learn...1831-1999".Comstock Township Library〕 Comstock School was expanded in 1921 with the construction of a new middle school adjacent to the old school. A new high school was established in the older building and was renamed Comstock High School. A gymnasium and auditorium was constructed on the campus in 1937 through a Public Works Administration project. In 1942, a new high school building was built adjacent to the middle school. The 44-year-old Comstock School was torn down the following year. Following the construction of a new General Motors fabrication plant in Comstock Township, a new high school and football stadium was built which stands today as the present high school. Since its construction in 1966, the high school campus on 26th street has seen improvements over the years including the construction of a 750-seat community auditorium in 1992, and a new 3,500 seat athletic stadium in 2007. In 2005, voters rejected a 26-year bond proposal to replace the current high school, opting instead to renovate the building.〔(Comstock Public Schools - History )〕 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「Comstock High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
