Paducah Tilghman High School is a public secondary school in Paducah, Kentucky, and is the only high school of the Paducah Independent School District. In recent years, Tilghman has earned fame for its championship track team and highly competitive football squad. ==History== Paducah Tilghman High School's predecessor was the Augusta Tilghman High School, which received its name from the wife of Brigadier General Lloyd Tilghman, an officer in the Confederate Army. In 1919, as a memorial to their parents, the sons of General Tilghman erected a statue of their father in Paducah, and gave the city $20,000 to buy a site for a high school. A site on Murrell Boulevard (currently South 10th Street) between Clark and Adams Streets was chosen, and the Augusta Tilghman High School was opened on September 19, 1921, replacing the former Paducah High School. In 1956, the new Paducah Tilghman High School was built alongside it. It honors General Tilghman. Paducah Tilghman High School is now located at 2400 Washington Street. The current school was built at a cost of 3.5 million dollars and opened in 1956. Sitting on a site, the facilities include an auditorium that seats 1,612 and also contains The Paducah Area Vocational Technical School. 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「Paducah Tilghman High School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
