Lake Orion High School (also referred to as Lake Orion Senior High School) is a public secondary institution located in Orion Township, Michigan. It is a part of Lake Orion Community Schools. The large campus (377,756 square feet) features a centralized commons area, which serves as a distribution center to the wings. The commons area features the cafeteria and student store, as well as the main office. Each wing features classrooms, computer labs, student lockers, and faculty offices. The school building is the third largest in the state of Michigan, behind Saline High School in Pittsfield Township, Michigan, and Anchor Bay High School in New Baltimore, Michigan. The campus also features a gymnasium, natatorium, and auditorium; all of which are suitable for state-level competitions or productions. The Information Resource Center is a library, featuring computers, tech-ed labs, and studio classrooms. The immediate area around the school has been developed into residential neighborhoods, but is still dominated by Bald Mountain Recreation Area to the north, east, and southeast. As of the 2013-2014 school year, Lake Orion High School has the 10th largest enrollment in the state of Michigan, and the 2nd largest in Oakland County after Clarkston High School (when Clarkston off-campus freshman are included). Since opening at the current location in 1997, LOHS has added close to 1,000 students to the enrollment. ==History== The first building to house Lake Orion students was built in 1893 and served grades K-12. It was demolished in the 1930s by a Works Progress Administration project after a new school building was in place. In 1927 a new building was constructed that would house K-12 students for the next 30 years. Located within the Village of Lake Orion, the building is still in use today as the Ehman Center, and is used by various non-profit enterprises (the property is zoned as non-commercial). It also was the home of a Boys & Girls Clubs of America chapter in the 1990s and early 2000s; the chapter has since moved. The next building to house LOHS is located near the current school, and is now used as a Community Education Resource Center. It is commonly referred to as the "CERC Building". Opened in 1957, it housed classes for high school students for 40 years. During the 1980s and 1990s the building became so limited in space that it eventually only served grades 10-12, and also required the use of portable classrooms. During that time, the building was known as Lake Orion Senior High School, and was fed by Lake Orion Junior High School (grades 8 and 9). In 1994, Lake Orion and Orion Township residents approved a millage for a new high school, a new elementary school, new buses, and improvements to existing buildings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Looking Back )〕 The current site of LOHS opened in the Fall of 1997, with much of the school uncompleted as construction was behind schedule. Students began classes while construction crews completed the main entrance, gym, weight room, auditorium, parking lot, baseball fields, and natatorium. As a result, students and staff used secondary entrances and were bused to the former high school for gym classes (and the first pep rally to include all 4 classes in years). Beginning in 1999, LOHS was named a National Blue Ribbon School. In 2000, LOHS was honored as a New American High School showcase site. Both honors are bestowed by the United States Department of Education.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Lake Orion Community Schools )〕 In 2001, LOHS was named one of the top 100 "wired" high schools nationally by The Princeton Review and ''FamilyPC'' magazine. 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「Lake Orion High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
