Notre Dame High School (NDHS) in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, California, is a co-ed Catholic college preparatory high school founded by the Congregation of Holy Cross in 1947. Located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Los Angeles, Notre Dame is known for a college-prep academic program, championship athletics, and fine arts program. NDHS has been honored by the United States Department of Education Blue Ribbon Schools Program, and is known for its academic program, band, and football, baseball and cross country teams. Its newspaper is The Knight, a member of the High School National Ad Network. Notre Dame was founded as an all-male school, and became a co-educational school in the 1982–1983 school year. The Class of 1986 is the first graduating class to include females. The Class of 1987 included the first full-term (4-year) female students. Notre Dame High School was used as a backdrop in episode 27, "Log 15: Exactly One Hundred Yards", of the NBC police series ''Adam-12'', which aired on September 20, 1969. ==History== After the establishment of the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, a group of Holy Cross Brothers traveled to Southern California in the 1940s. In 1941, the Brothers were invited to staff St. Anthony’s Parish High School in Long Beach. Shortly thereafter, a demand arose for a new Catholic high school in the San Fernando Valley. In 1945, the land at the corner of Riverside and Woodman was purchased for $45,000. In 1947, Notre Dame High School opened as an all boys school with a freshman class of 125 and a faculty of five, four of which were Holy Cross Brothers. In 1983-84, Notre Dame began a new era of co-education with the admission of the first female students (66 sophomores and 119 freshmen). This addition created many changes at Notre Dame: the facilities were adjusted to meet new needs, new faculty were hired and the athletic department was expanded to incorporate girls’ sports. Notre Dame’s campus has significantly grown since the Riverside Building was built in 1947. In May 1951, the gymnasium we use today was completed. The Woodman Building followed in September 1956. Buildings, such as the five classroom Annex, have come and gone. The Allegretti Building was opened in May 1987 which provided an office complex and classrooms in the area between the Woodman and Riverside Buildings. Most recently, there have been two major classroom buildings built in the last ten years: the Fritz B. Burns Center for Arts and Technology in January 2002 and the Hampton Science Center in January 2007. 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「Notre Dame High School (Sherman Oaks, California)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
