Orosi High School is a public high school in Orosi, California, in the Cutler-Orosi Joint Unified School District. == History == The Orosi High School District was organized in 1909 by Frances E. Snell. Grammar and high school classes were held in the same building, with high school occupying the upstairs portion and one downstairs room. The first class was made up of twenty-nine freshmen, two sophomores, and one junior. Frances Snell taught mathematics, history, and English while Louise Duncan was in charge of the commercial department and Latin. By 1911, the high school was distinct from the grammar school, but remained in the same building. In 1912, Orosi High School's first class graduated. Two students made up the graduating class. That same year, a new site for the school was purchased on Road 128 (formerly Palm Avenue). Temporary buildings were put up to accommodate the students.
In the 1914–1915 academic year, the school welcomed 15 new students and graduated 7 seniors. In 1917 a combination brick and stucco schoolhouse was built with seven classrooms, assembly hall, administrative office and faculty room. A brick gymnasium of brick and a frame shop building were added in 1922. The homemaking department had a wing to itself. A south wing was added in 1937, and remains after other old buildings burned or were demolished to be replaced by new ones in 1956. The school suffered a destructive fire in 1942. Bonds and state support provided funds for new classrooms and a new gymnasium, which was ready in 1951. The other new buildings were occupied in 1954. In 1955 the administration of both the elementary and high schools was placed under one superintendent, each retaining its own principal.〔 In 1962, a new building was built, which housed a library, science laboratory, and additional classrooms. In 1965, the district unified and the high school students from Badger were included in the district. A football stadium was built for the school in 1972. In 1990, Orosi High School was awarded the California Distinguished School recognition. In 2007, Cutler-Orosi was one of the communities to receive the U.S. Department of Justice "weed and seed" grants and in 2010, it underwent a remodeling, which included adding new classrooms and an amphitheater and redesigning the student quad area. The Class of 2012 was Orosi High school's 100th graduating class. The last of the graduating classes to begin their formal education in the 20th century. The class is considered a "turning point" in the educational history for OHS and saw they highest number of students going into higher education and the UC system. The graduating class consisted of eight valedictorians.〔http://www.thedinubasentinel.com/articles/2012/06/14/news/doc4fda1fef388fd454026978.txt〕 In 2015 was named a Gold Ribbon School by the California Department of Education.〔http://www.cojusd.org/Page/25〕〔KSEE 24 Fresno local Central Valley newscast Retrieved 22 May 2015 http://www.yourcentralvalley.com/story/d/story/-/trsjwy3_pkKs8CPVAoyZOQ#.VV6LVXtEn-w.facebook〕 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「Orosi High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
