Eleanor Roosevelt High School (ERHS), is a Maryland public magnet high school specializing in science, mathematics, technology, and engineering. The school was established in 1976 at its current location in Greenbelt, Maryland and is part of the Prince George's County Public Schools system. It was the first high school named for former first lady Eleanor Roosevelt. Eleanor Roosevelt was the county's first academic specialized high school for science and technology from its founding until 1982. The program has since expanded to two other centers, located at Charles Herbert Flowers High School, which serves the central region, and Oxon Hill High School, which serves the southern region. Roosevelt serves the northern region of the county. Each school is a four-year comprehensive high school with the Science and Technology Center serving as an alternative/specialized program. The Science and Tech program is not officially considered a "true" magnet program, as its purpose wasn't intended to serve in the way that a traditional magnet does. The program is the only one within the system for which admission is through competitive examination only. Roosevelt has an enrollment of 2,764 students (as of the 2008–2009 school year) in grades 9 through 12. Roosevelt reached an all-time enrollment high of approximately 3,200 students around the start of the 21st century due to its popular magnet program and Prince George's County's significant population increase. The enrollment has dropped slightly due to school boundary realignment throughout the county and the opening of the Flowers High School center. Roosevelt has received numerous awards throughout its 36-year history including being twice awarded National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence; a New American High School; a National School of Character; and receiving the Siemens Awards for Advanced Placement. Roosevelt was named #382 on ''America's Top 1,500 Public High Schools'' list for 2009, by ''Newsweek Magazine''〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The complete list of the 1,500 top U.S. high schools )〕 and was also recognized as a ''Silver Medal School'' by ''U.S. News & World Report'', in 2008.〔http://www.pgcps.org/~erhs/silverschools2008.pdf〕 Several prominent figures have attended Eleanor Roosevelt, including Sergey Brin, one of the two founders of Google, R&B singers Mýa and Kenny Lattimore, as well as television personalities Jelani Blake, Jaeda Reames and Martin Lawrence; including numerous sports personalities in American basketball and football. ==Academics== Roosevelt is best known for its specialized ''Science and Technology (S/T) program'', which has been in place since the school was first opened. Roosevelt is the S/T center for the northern part of Prince George's County, and admission is based on a competitive exam. Roosevelt is a member of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology (NCSSSMST). Roosevelt is the first of three specialized science and technology centers located in the Prince George's County Public Schools system. STP is an active member of the National Consortium for Specialized Secondary Schools of Mathematics, Science and Technology (NCSSSMST). The magnet operates as a ''"School-Within-A-School"'', which essentially means it's a separate school within another school, and only a portion of the students who attend the school are actually enrolled in the magnet program. Many of the core courses such as English and Social Studies classes have mixed amounts of S/T, AOIT, QUEST, and comprehensive students in the same classes. The Science and Technology Center is a highly competitive selective enrollment program, and students are admitted into the magnet through pre-admission testing, as well as a combination of grades earned in four subjects areas during seventh grade and the first quarter of eighth grade. The comprehensive program at ERHS is further divided into several smaller schools, or ''Career Academies'', as part of the ''smaller learning communities'' initiative. Roosevelt was the first high school within the county to feature and successfully implement academy programs, and the strategy has since been expanded and implemented at several other area high schools. ERHS has classes ranging from Japanese, child development, and television production to bio-organic chemistry, calculus, and a variety of technology courses. Roosevelt has eight different foreign language courses each with multiple levels of difficulty. Other programs include the QUEST/AOIT program and the Gilder-Lehrman American History Program. ERHS also offers several AP (advanced placement) courses which are open to all students.〔(Academics at Eleanor Roosevelt High School )〕 These courses include calculus, physics, chemistry, biology, U.S. history, world history, government, English literature and language, psychology, Latin, Russian, French, Italian, Spanish, and many more. In the 2005-2006, there was an enrollment of 1,585 in AP classes. 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「Eleanor Roosevelt High School (Maryland)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
