Before then, Mashpee students attended nearby Falmouth High School. Mashpee voted to open its own high school after the town experienced a massive increase in its population. Since 1970, Mashpee's town population has increased by ten times in size and was one of the state's fastest growing towns from 1970 - 2000. The town population as of the 2010 census is approximately 14,000 and the student population is roughly 1,700. As of 2015, The high school's principal is Mr. Mark Balestracci. Mashpee High School originally served students in grades 7–12, but in 2008 the school board decided to separate high school students from the 7th and 8th grade students. Mashpee High School now serves students in grades 9–12, and the 7th and 8th grade students attend Mashpee Middle School, which is located in the same building as Mashpee High School, but runs under its own administration, has its own teachers and staff, and has its own sports teams separate from the high school. In 2014, the middle & high schools were once again consolidated to run under one administration. The middle school is represented by a headmaster who runs under direction of the principal. Due to the re-consolidation, 7th and 8th grade students in the school will be allowed to participate in high school level athletics, including varsity. The athletics waiver was granted by the MIAA and will take effect during the 2015-2016 academic year. Of the approximately 700 students at Mashpee High, 8.2% of the student population is Native American, the highest percentage of any high school in New England. 〔http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2014/10/19/mashpee-high-football-team-driven-succeed/4XIeXG0NM3ARy5og6cuBvK/story.html〕 Every year since 2004, Mashpee High School’s graduation has opened with a traditional Wampanoag language travel blessing, folllowed by a traditional Wampanoag drum circle song and performance by the "Red Hawk Singers", who perform two traditional travel and blessing Wampanoag songs. 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「Mashpee Middle-High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
