Its peak enrollment was nearly 5,000 students, when the school had to conduct double sessions to accommodate the large enrollment.〔(Hillhouse High School Sesquicentennial All-Class Reunion Banquet Saturday, May 16 ), The Ficklin Media Group, April 30, 2009〕 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「Hillhouse High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
