At the time, farms were in the surrounding area. Several years later integration busing placed African Americans from areas such as Bunche Park to Carol City. In 1986, ten faculty members, including three teachers, were found to have engaged in crimes; each person was found to have committed recreational drug use or property theft.〔 The school was formerly located within the census-designated place of Carol City.〔"(Carol City CDP, Florida )." ''U.S. Census Bureau''. Retrieved on September 27, 2009.〕 Garcia said that, in 2006, "a familial closeness still defined the school. And Carol City High students — until they graduated or dropped out, at least — seemed safe from the violence that had gripped the surrounding area.〔 In spring 2006, three students from the class of 2006 were murdered; none of them were members of gangs, nor were they involved in the recreational drug trade. After Miami Carol City held its graduation ceremony, three graduates were killed. People in the Miami area referred to the class as the "cursed class of 2006."〔Garcia-Roberts, Gus. "The Curse." ''Miami New Times''. February 10, 2009. (1 ). Retrieved on February 11, 2009.〕 Garcia said "If there is a curse, it seems it has a much wider breadth than one class" and "Carol City bloodshed has only gained speed" after the class of 2006 graduated, since students from subsequent classes died in violent crimes.〔Garcia-Roberts, Gus. "The Curse." ''Miami New Times''. February 10, 2009. (5 ). Retrieved on February 11, 2009.〕 During a Tuesday in November 2007, a robber shot a teacher, who had been smoking a cigarette outside of the campus building, in the side. The 18-year-old robber stole the teacher's wallet and was later arrested. The teacher survived the shooting.〔Garcia-Roberts, Gus. "The Curse." ''Miami New Times''. February 10, 2009. (6 ). Retrieved on February 11, 2009.〕 In the ''New Miami Times'' article, Latoya Bentley, a member of the Class of the 2006, said that most of the Carol City teachers were "really excellent and very caring." In the same article, 20-year-old Robert Williams, who had attended Carol City for a period, described it as "a ghetto place. The building, the teachers, the kids — it's got this real ghetto atmosphere."〔 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 Carol City Senior High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
