St. Mary's High School is a co-educational, Roman Catholic high school located in Lancaster, New York, 4.5 miles South East of the Buffalo Niagara International Airport and 14.5 East of downtown Buffalo. The school is within the Diocese of Buffalo. St. Mary's enrollment includes students in grades 9-12 from four counties and approximately 30 school districts. The current Principal is Rebecca Kranz. ==Background== St. Mary's High School is the one of the oldest parochial high school in the nation. The school was formerly a parish school which opened in 1904, officially chartered in 1909. Construction of the present building began in 1954, with the opening of the school in September 1955. The Salvatorian Fathers joined with the Franciscan Sisters to operate the school. As the enrollment increased, the additions were made in 1956, 1962, and 1982. The lay staff of St. Mary's High School grew, coinciding with the decree of Vatican Council II. In 1970, the first lay principal was appointed to SMH, and an Administrative Board was formed, which plays a major role in the decision and policy-making process of the school. In 1975, for the first time in the history of SMH and the Diocese of Buffalo, a lay woman was appointed principal of a secondary school. In 1991, St. Mary's became a private High School administered by a board of trustees. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, St. Mary's followed the educational requirements as outlined by the Board of Regents of the State of New York. In the decade of the 2000s, St. Mary's continues to strive to offer its students the "best education for their whole life." 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「St. Mary's High School (Lancaster, New York)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
