Al Lindau, the Dean of Students, TAGOS Leadership Academy was founded in 2007 by Al Lindau; he served as the Dean of Students at that time. The current Dean of Students is Nic Manogue. The school name, TAGOS, is Greek for "leadership". The name is also an acronym for Tailoring Academics To Guide Our Students.〔Frank Schultz, "(Talking about TAGOS Leadership Academy )," ''Janesville Gazette'', October 23, 2007. Retrieved December 4, 2012.〕 ==History== The idea for TAGOS began in 2007 with a planning committee made up of community members that included teachers, local business owners, government officials, and local parents. Receiving initial funding from the state of Wisconsin in the form of a planning grant, committee members visited model project-based schools across the United States, including schools in San Diego, Appleton, Wisconsin, Sante Fe, New Mexico and Henderson, Minnesota. The principles and practices demonstrated to work in the schools visited were then applied and adapted to TAGOS Leadership Academy. TAGOS opened its doors to 36 students at the beginning of the 2007-2008 school year. At the time, construction at the building at Arrow Park was underway, so a rental building on S. Main Street in Janesville was used. On December 23, 2007, when construction was completed, TAGOS began its occupancy at Arrow Park. 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「TAGOS Leadership Academy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
