The Queens High School of Teaching, Liberal Arts and the Sciences (QHST) (26Q566) is a public high school in Glen Oaks, New York located on the Frank A. Padavan Campus, a sprawling landscaped campus, which contains QHST and two other neighboring 'kindergarten-8th' grade schools: P.S./I.S. 266 and P.S./I.S. 208.〔("Top Projects Completed 2003-2004: The Glen Oaks Campus" ), ''New York Construction'', June 2004.〕 It is one of the only schools in New York City that has a campus, which is the largest public school campus ever built in the United States. The campus—originally named the Glen Oaks Campus—was renamed in 2008 in honor of a state senator who at the time was running for re-election.〔Gootman, Elissa. ("School Campus Receives a Living Senator’s Name, Much to His Opponent’s Annoyance" ) ''The New York Times'', April 29, 2008.〕 Its three Small Learning Communities are named "Emerson," "Freire," and "Montessori." The school opened in Fall 2003.〔Hass, Robin and Bode, Nicole. ("A HAPPY CAMPUS - MOSTLY 2 of 3 schools open smoothly" ) ''New York Daily News'', September 9, 2003.〕 It currently serves grades 9-12 under principal Eric Contreras. The original principal was Nigel Pugh. ==History and origin== The school was originally planned as a year-round school with short vacations throughout the year, but this plan was later dismissed, and the school now adheres to a standard academic schedule. The original plan was to enroll 300 freshmen and gradually accept more students each year. Months before its opening 60 sophomores were admitted as well. At this time Principal Nigel Pugh separated the school into three "small learning communities" (SLCs) to simulate the experience of attending a smaller school. The campus was originally the site of an extension of Creedmore mental hospital to which the school has no affiliation. During the 2009-2010 school year, the last few buildings were torn down for a not yet started sports field. 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「Queens High School of Teaching」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
