ID#200012032. (NHDES OneStop Program Web GIS ), accessed Feb. 18, 2011.〕 The name 'Timberlane' came from the forestry industry that played a major role in the economic development of New Hampshire. Before the school was built, students attended several different high schools in the area, including Haverhill High School in nearby Haverhill, Massachusetts. During the 1970s the school exerienced a strike of nearly all its faculty, and overcrowding which necessitated double sessions (one half of the students would take classes in the morning, with the other half taking classes in the afternoon). This overcrowding was rectified in 1975 by the opening of the Timberlane Regional Middle School as a neighbor to the school. By the early 1980s the school needed expansion. An addition was completed in 1987, which included a second gymnasium and increased space for the athletic program. The student numbers continued to increase as families moved from Boston, Massachusetts, further out to the suburbs, and by the mid-1990s the school again became overcrowded. In the fall of 1998 several modular classrooms were installed on the property as a temporary solution, and the community demanded an extensive remodelling of the building and the six other schools in the Timberlane School District. In 1999, a $40 million renovation program was carried out district-wide, which included a complete remodeling and expansion of the high school as well as the construction of the $7 million Timberlane Regional Performing Arts Center. Several new classrooms wee added the sizes of the cafeteria and gymnasium were increased, and a ventilation system was installeds. During the summer of 2007, a new roof was brought to the school after many years of leaks. 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「Timberlane Regional High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
