Wilde Lake High School is a secondary school located in Columbia, Maryland's Village of Wilde Lake, one of 12 public high schools in Howard County. Bids were requested by January 1970 for an 1,350 seat school to be built for an estimated $2.6 million. Opened in 1971 as a model school for the nation, it was Columbia's first high school. It had a unique open doughnut-shaped design with "open classrooms" and was a model school for new teaching settings.〔(), "Five Open Plan High Schools: A Report from Educational Facilities Laboratories (1973) (archived at Texas A&M University).〕 In 1994, the original 910-student building which did not meet current safety standards was demolished. A new $20 million 1,200-seat building was reconstructed on the same site with a more traditional style by Cochran, Stephenson and Donkevoet. The new building, opened in 1996, replicates the open idea, with a central main street, and halls surrounding it and a bridge across the second floor. The school is centrally located in Howard County and its district borders that of River Hill High School, Marriotts Ridge High School, Centennial High School, Howard High School, Oakland Mills High School, and Atholton High School. Wilde Lake's official mascot is the "Wildecat". The school's main sports rivals are Oakland Mills High School, River Hill High School and Atholton High School. ==Jim Rouse Theatre== Wilde Lake has a modern 750-seat theater named for Columbia founder James Rouse.〔(James Rouse Theater ), Wilde Lake High School Website.〕 The stage is used by both school and community groups. The 12,500-square-foot performance space is also ideal for community meetings, sales rallies, exhibitions, and business training sessions. The theatre has a total of 547 seats downstairs, 543 seats and 4 handicapped accessible and 200 seats upstairs, 196 seats and 4 handicapped accessible.〔(), 2012〕 Wilde Lake High School prides itself with this state-of-the-art theater with advanced acoustics and the school's internationally recognized Fine Arts program. The concert, Wind Ensemble, and Jazz Band, led by director Lewis Dutrow, take full advantage of the Jim Rouse Theatre.〔http://www.hcpss.org/schools/profiles/profile_hs_WildeLake.pdf〕 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「Wilde Lake High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
