McDonogh School is a private, coeducational, K-12, college-preparatory school founded in Owings Mills, Maryland, USA in 1873. The school is named after John McDonogh, whose estate originally funded the school. The school now enrolls approximately 1,300 students, between 90 and 100 of whom participate in the Upper School's five-day boarding program.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=McDonogh School Fact Sheet 2013-2014 )〕 McDonogh employs approximately 177 full-time faculty members, more than 80% of whom hold advanced degrees and 20% of whom live on-campus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Senior Administration )〕 McDonogh is regarded as one of the Baltimore region's most prestigious preparatory schools and has been called a "Power School" by Baltimore magazine.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Power Schools )〕 The school's students are frequently recruited by Ivy League and other top ranked colleges and universities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Admission Quick Facts )〕 McDonogh's athletic programs have also seen widespread success, particularly in lacrosse, soccer, and wrestling, where the school's teams have been nationally ranked in recent years. The school is a member of the Association of Independent Maryland Schools.〔 == History == The school was established near Baltimore, Maryland in 1873 and funded by the estate of John McDonogh, a former Baltimore resident, who died in 1850. The other half of the McDonogh estate was used to fund over 30 public schools in New Orleans, Louisiana, where McDonogh lived and worked.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The McDonogh Ode, )〕 Documents in the archives of McDonogh School include letters from his former slaves thanking John McDonogh (prior to 1850) for his program giving slaves the opportunity to work to buy their freedom and transportation back to Africa. McDonogh was established as an all-white, semi-military school for orphan boys, who worked on the farm in exchange for their studies, room, and board. Tuition students arrived in 1922, and daily commuting students in 1927. The first African-American student was admitted in 1959. In 1971, the military traditions of the school were discontinued.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=A Brief History )〕 The school became coeducational in 1975. Full and partial McDonogh scholarships continue to this day, with $4.5 million in need-based aid awarded for the 2013-2014 school year.〔 Charlie Britton is currently serving as the 12th head of school. He received this position beginning in 2007, succeeding W. Boulton "Bo" Dixon.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=McDonogh Announces the Appointment of Charles Britton as 12th Head of 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「McDonogh School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
