Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies is a Magnet School in the Jefferson Parish School District in Metairie, Louisiana. Haynes has been designated a Five Star School by the Louisiana State education agency. It was the first school in Louisiana to become a member of the National English Honor Society. Haynes has won ten national titles in the Math and Propaganda games, and two overall National Championships. The Haynes Academy is named after Vernon C. Haynes, a former principal of the school.〔(Haynes Academy About Us )〕 ==History== Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies was established in 1909 by the Jefferson Parish School Board and named Metairie Ridge School. By 1912, the wood-framed, one-room schoolhouse had grown to an enrollment of 54. By 1929, grades 1 through 12 had been established and the school was renamed Metairie High School. After East Jefferson High opened in 1955, it was converted to a junior high school and Vernon C. Haynes became the principal.〔 During the 1968–69 school year, the two-story school building, which had been used for 44 years, was torn down and replaced with the present single-story building. In 1969, it became Metairie Middle School. On November 22, 1974, the school’s name was once again changed to the Vernon C. Haynes Middle School in honor of the former principal. Haynes Middle School became Haynes Middle School for Advanced People in October 2004, and then became Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies in May 2006 after adding one high school grade each year. The class of 2010 was the first class to graduate from Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies.〔 Though the school’s name has changed many times throughout the years, the mascot has stayed the same. The Haynes Academy for Advanced Studies’ mascot is the Yellow Jacket.〔(Yellow Jacket Mascot )〕 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「Haynes Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
