North Side High School is a public secondary school located in Fort Worth, Texas. The school serves about 1,600 students in the Fort Worth Independent School District. == History == In 1884, the small community of Marine, located near what today is the intersection of North Main and Central Avenue, was the beginning of what would become North Fort Worth, Texas. The North Fort Worth High School provided a basic education in the "Three R's" for the small community north of the Trinity River. The Marine School was a one-room edifice which met the needs of the tiny, but growing community. That building was located in the 1600 block of North Commerce Street. Built in 1872, the schoolhouse was originally located in Fort Worth’s Northside on Commerce Street. Throughout the 1880s, it served as the community’s only school. After a new elementary school was built in 1889, it was used as a community church. In 1904, it once again served as a school when it housed the four students enrolled in North Fort Worth High School. When the community finally outgrew the little building in 1906, John Mulholland bought and moved it to 1309 Commerce Street, where it was converted and used as a residence throughout the early-to-mid-20th century. The school still retains some evidence of its use as a home. In 1991, the City of Fort Worth condemned the weather-beaten structure. But a group known as the "Friends of the Marine Schoolhouse" rescued it from certain destruction. On April 1993, the “Friends” moved the building to 601 Park Street, where it remained for ten years until it was donated to the City of Fort Worth. On September 16, 2003, the Marine School was moved to its present location at Log Cabin Village. The relocation was a critical move in preservation of a historic structure and a Fort Worth landmark. 〔(Marine School ). Marine School History.

The second structure to serve as a school to the children of the town was located at North Main and 16th Street. The site was directly across 16th Street from the Catholics Men’s Club and sat where a "Park and Ride" parking lot now is located. All of these early schools educated all grade levels in just one building. In 1909, the first football team of North Fort Worth High was sponsored and thus began the illustrious football history of North Fort Worth High School. The school's colors of maroon and white were adopted in 1911. The year 1913 was an important year because of the following events that took place: the first basketball team was organized; ''The LASSO'', the school's annual, was published; and, the North Side High School of Fort Worth Alumni Association was organized. 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「North Side High School (Fort Worth, Texas)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
