Covington Catholic High School (abbreivated CCH or CovCath) is a private, all-male high school in Park Hills, Kentucky. It was founded in 1925 by Bishop Francis William Howard and Brother George Sauer. It is part of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington. == History == CovCath traces its roots to St. Joseph Commercial School, which was opened in 1885 by three brothers of the Society of Mary, and was affiliated with St. Joseph's Parish in Covington. At the time, the school was a grade school that also offered what would now be called vocational education. As time went on, a need for a full four-year Catholic boys' high school in the area developed, and it was decided to open the new Covington Catholic High School in 1925 at Mother of God on 6th Street, with a freshman class of 32. St. Joseph Commercial School was closed the following year as the Brothers of Mary chose to devote their full-time to the new school. In the early 1950s it became apparent that Covington Catholic High School would have to be expanded further if it were to continue its role as the central Catholic high school for boys in Northern Kentucky. Pastors from thirteen Northern Kentucky parishes approved plans for construction of a new 44,000 sq./ft. high school building on a plot in the heart of Park Hills, just miles away from the previous location in Covington. The cornerstone was placed in 1954, and the first class graduated from the school in 1955. The class president was Edward Sessinger. The total cost of the building and property was $845,439.44, and was shared by the thirteen parishes. The school gymnasium was dedicated on January 29, 1955 when the Purcell Marian High School Cavaliers played Covington Catholic in basketball. Later, through the efforts of the S.C.O.R.E. committee, Wooten Field was added for football, and the baseball field was completely rebuilt. In 1988, the Scott Knochelman Alumni Building was built to accommodate the growing needs of athletic teams. It includes a weight room, locker room, showers, and coaches offices. In 2002, construction of the current building began directly behind the original structure, finishing in time for the start of the 2003-2004 school year. Since the new school has been built, renovations have been made to all facilities, including a state-of-the-art football field, a remodeled baseball complex, and a restructured gymnasium. The campus has expanded again in 2010 with the acquisition of 5 acres and an adjoining property with a 20,000 building now known as the Griffin Centre, named after the Griffin Family that donated the $865,000 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「Covington Catholic High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
