Del Mar High School (DMHS) is a four-year, public secondary school established in 1959 in San Jose, California. It is part of the Campbell Union High School District, (CUHSD), the other schools in which are Branham, Leigh, Prospect, and Westmont. Most of Del Mar’s students come from the Campbell Union School District’s middle schools: Monroe, Campbell, and Rolling Hills. The school serves both San Jose and Campbell, in addition to some unincorporated pockets of Santa Clara County. The school mascot of Del Mar is "The Don," and the colors are black, gold, and, officially, white. As of 2012 the school principal is Jennifer Baldwin, and vice principal is Richard Alipaz. In recent years, the school's academic scores have risen significantly,〔Nobida, Martin. ("After only a year, Principal Russell makes a big impact." ) The Campbell Reporter, SVCN, LLC. August 25, 2004.〕〔http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_5754068〕 most notably by reaching an API (Academic Performance Index) score of 720 in 2011, a jump of 122 points since 2004. In 2007, it was officially deemed a “California Distinguished School.” 〔("2007 Distinguished Middle and High Schools." ) California Department of Education.〕 == History == The CUHSD began construction on the Del Mar campus in 1957; it was established in 1959. The first school year began in September 1959 with the first class graduating in June 1960. Del Mar was the first complete four year high school in California to be constructed by the state's aid building fund, at a cost of $3 million. The dedication of the new school was attended by California Governor Edmund G. "Pat" Brown. The school was also the first of any high school in the state to boast a sunken football stadium; the stadium came about as part of an agreement between the school district and Count Allesandro Dandini, the owner of a brick-making plant which was adjacent to the football field. The stadium area was cleared out in exchange for the clay which was excavated. In 2007, the grass field and dirt track were replaced with an artificial turf field and tartan track in time for football season. The superintendent of the CUHSD at the time of the school's construction in 1957, Larry Hill, made a deal to get the 'clinker' bricks from the yard at a discount, to use in the schools the district was building at the time.〔("Del Mar High School History." ) CUHSD.〕 As a result, all of Del Mar's original buildings have a great deal of brick in them. 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「Del Mar High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
