The Pelham Memorial High School is the only high school within the town of Pelham, New York, USA.〔http://pmhs.pelhamschools.org/www/pmhs_pelhamschools/site/hosting/Clark/pmhsmission_2006.pdf〕 ==History== Prior to 1918, the Siwanoy School housed elementary and secondary students in Pelham. However, the population was growing and the facility was no longer able to accommodate all of the students. It was decided that the Pelham Memorial High School would be a memorial to World War I and all wars in which Pelham residents fought. "Honor Here the Ideals for Which They Fought" is the inscription above the main auditorium stage. PMHS was dedicated on May 6, 1922, costing $373,000. At the time, it was the biggest high school with the biggest field in Westchester County. This would only be the first of three sections that would later be constructed and attached as the number of students continuously increased. The second section, facing Corlies Avenue was completed in 1924, costing $350,000. The third section, facing Franklin Place, was completed in 1929, with a cost of $575,000. The building continued to be enhanced throughout the years, including a new annex which was created in 1963. This annex allowed for more classrooms and new science laboratories. Later in the 20th century, the auto mechanic and other show classrooms were removed from the annex and converted to modern computer laboratories and art rooms. Wiring was also upgraded for new technology. Community donations resulted in a new modern language lab, a bio-technology lab, and state-of-the-art sound and lighting equipment in the auditorium. Recently, the school has been renovated significantly. These changes included an upgraded library, auditorium, and science laboratories.〔 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「Pelham Memorial High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
