Miami Beach Senior High School, commonly referred to as "Beach High" or "MBSH," is a secondary school located at 2231 Prairie Avenue Miami Beach, Florida, directly around the corner from the Miami Beach Convention Center and Botanical Gardens on Prairie Avenue and Dade Boulevard. The school is located in Miami-Dade county and part of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, the fourth largest school district in the country. In addition, Miami Beach Senior High is the second oldest in Miami-Dade County (after Miami Senior High). In 2009, the school was recognized as a magnet school. In 2010, Miami Beach Senior High was recognized as an International Baccalaureate World School, meaning a select group of students get to attend a two-year program that allows them to graduate with a special diploma. The school was the first in the city to receive the designation.〔http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/04/11/1570620/miami-beach-high-to-offer-international.html〕 The school's athletic rival is Miami Senior High. ==History== Miami Beach High opened its doors in 1926. Originally, Miami Beach Sr. High was located at 1424 Drexel Avenue in the heart of the South Beach district. Miami Beach Sr. High is one of the oldest high schools in Miami-Dade County, trailing only Miami Senior High (1903). It was designed by August Geiger. For the first nine years of the school, it was named after Carl Fisher's mother, Ida M. Fisher. (Mrs. Fisher's middle initial was NOT "M" and the use of that letter was due to a typographer's error. Carl did not care and was so pleased that the school had been named for his mother that he stated the incorrect letter did not make a difference to him.) Carl Fisher provided the funds for the purchase of the land and the first principal was Mr. C. C. Carson. The first class motto was: "Let us be known for our deeds." At that time, the school's nickname was the Typhoons, but this name was changed after the late May 1960 move to its new location at 2231 Prairie Avenue, about a block north of the South Beach district. Under a forced desegregation order from the Florida Supreme Court, Miami Beach High opened its arms to diversity by undergoing desegregation efforts. The original building at 14th and Drexel Avenue is now part of the Fienberg-Fisher K-8 Center compound. The school is being renovated and new buildings added to replace the demolished ones. In the late nineties, Beach High adopted ID numbers for every student in the school along with school ID cards following an incident in 1995 with a gang member on-campus who did not belong to the school. Soon after, every other school in Miami-Dade followed suit. 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「Miami Beach Senior High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
