Lindale High School (also called Lindale High, LHS or simply Lindale) is a public secondary school located in the Northeast Texas town of Lindale. Lindale High is a part of the Lindale Independent School District and includes grades 9 through 12. The school serves most of Lindale and nearby Hideaway Lake. A small portion of eastern Van Zandt County also lies within the district. == Academics == "A Tradition of Excellence" is the motto of Lindale High School. The school's curriculum focuses on natural science (biology, chemistry, physics and anatomy/physiology); mathematics (algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus); English language and literature; social science (world geography, world history, early and contemporary U.S. history, psychology, sociology, government and economics); and fine arts. At the present time, however, the school only offers instruction in one foreign language, Spanish, which is offered up to the honors level. Particularly commendable are the school's English and social studies departments. Students of Lindale High School consistently achieve higher scores on writing exams (or on writing portions of standardized tests, like the SAT or the Texas Higher Education Assessment) in comparison to peer institutions, and frequently distinguish themselves through writing competitions. In 2010, for example, all three winners (first, second, and third places) in the 12th-grade division of the East Texas State Fair Academic Writing Contest were students of Lindale High School. In recent years, Lindale High has seen a significant drop in the number of Advanced Placement (AP) courses offered. This is an intentional decrease by the school's administration, as an array of college dual enrollment courses have taken the place of the AP program. However, the school still offers AP English Literature, AP English Language, AP Calculus AB, as well as a considerable number of pre-AP and college-preparatory honors courses to its students. The school's college dual enrollment program includes courses in subjects as varying as English, mathematics, history, biology, government, public and business speaking, art and art history, automotive technology, and many others. In fact, in the 2009-2010 school year, Lindale High once again had the largest college dual enrollment program of any high school in the area, according to the school's primary dual enrollment partner institution, Tyler Junior College, a commendable community college located in Tyler, Texas. The school also provides a range of elective courses. These include creative writing, analysis of visual media, medical terminology, computer science, computer multimedia, webmastering, art, applied music, theater production, dance, accounting and a hands-on education course (called "Ready Set Teach"), to name a few. 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「Lindale High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
