Henry W. Grady High School is located in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It was founded in 1924 as Boys High School, and was renovated once in 1950, once in 1987, and once again in 2004. The namesake of the school is Henry Woodfin Grady, proponent of the "New South" after the Civil War and one of Georgia's most celebrated journalists. Vincent Murray, PhD, served as the school's principal from 1991 until the 2013-2014 school year. Timothy J. Guiney is the principal as of the 2014-2015 school year. The mascot is the grey knight and the school colors are grey and cardinal red. Grady served as the communication magnet in the Atlanta Public Schools system from 1991 until 2011, when the school closed the magnet following a system-wide grant from the Gates Foundation to open small learning communities. Since 2011, Grady has been home to four small learning communities: Communications and Journalism, Public Policy and Justice, Business and Entrepreneurship, and Biomedical Science and Engineering. As of October 2014, the student population was reported as being 56.2% percent Black, 33.3% percent White, 4.7% Hispanic and 2.3% Asian.〔http://app.doe.k12.ga.us/ows-bin/owa/fte_pack_ethnicsex.display_proc〕 Grady is located adjacent to Piedmont Park in the heart of Midtown Atlanta. In addition to Midtown, Grady serves Inman Park, Virginia-Highland, Lake Claire, Candler Park, Fourth Ward, Morningside-Lenox Park, Home Park, Atlantic Station, Ansley Park, and parts of Downtown Atlanta. ==History== As of the 2010 school year, Atlanta Public Schools has done away with Grady's journalism magnet program, instead implementing small learning communities funded by the Gates foundation. Since suggesting these small learning communities over five years ago, the Gates foundation has removed funding for the program, stating that small learning communities are in fact detrimental to student success. Atlanta Public Schools continued with their plan to transition all schools to small learning communities. Some think the academies have racially segregated the school. 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「Henry W. Grady High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
