Coyle and Cassidy School, or Coyle-Cassidy School, officially Coyle Cassidy Memorial High School and Middle School Divisions (formerly ''St. Mary's High School'', ''Monsignor Coyle High School'', and ''Coyle and Cassidy High School'') is a private, Catholic Diocesan school located in Taunton, Massachusetts, USA. The school has been a co-education middle and high school facility since 2014. Coyle serves students living within and beyond the Greater Taunton Area. ==History== The school's history dates back to 1911, when Monsignor James Coyle, pastor of Saint Mary's Church, established Saint Mary's High School. The high school grew, and by the early 1930s the need for a larger school was apparent. In 1933, shortly after Monsignor Coyle's death, Monsignor Coyle High School opened on Summer Street, staffed by the Brothers of the Holy Cross. The boys' population transferred to Coyle, and the girls' population stayed at Saint Mary's under the guidance of the Holy Union Sisters. In 1963, a new high school for girls was opened on the corner of Hamilton Street and Adams Street, named for Bishop James Edwin Cassidy. However, given the economics of the time, the aging of the old Coyle High School building, as well as a lack of ordained staff for each school, it was decided in 1971 that the two schools would merge into Coyle-Cassidy High School in the Bishop Cassidy site. (The former Monsignor Coyle High School building became known as the Taunton Catholic Middle School, and served the diocese until the 2014.) 〔(Coyle and Cassidy High School - A Brief History )〕 In February 2014, the school announced that it would begin to host grades 6-8 in a new "Middle School Division", while grades 9-12 will now be known as the "High School Division". This was in response to the shutting down of Taunton Catholic Middle School, which had hosted grades 5-8 in a previous Coyle location. 〔(Coyle Cassidy High School - CC-TCMS Press Release )〕 The full name of the school was modified to include both divisions, however the school name with no modifier before the word "school" is far more common than the more complex long-form name. 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「Coyle and Cassidy School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
