'''Mount Hebron High School''' is a public [[high school]] located in [[Ellicott City, Maryland|Ellicott City]], [[Maryland]]. It is part of the [[Howard County Public Schools|Howard County Public School System]].


==About the School==
'''Tatra''' is a vehicle manufacturer in [[Kopřivnice]], [[Czech Republic]]. The company was founded in 1850 as Nesselsdorfer Wagenbau-Fabriksgesellschaft, a wagon and carriage manufacturer, and in 1897 produced its first motor car in central Europe, the Präsident. In 1919 it changed its name to Tatra after the [[Tatra mountains]]. Tatra is the third oldest [[automaker|car maker]] in the world after [[DaimlerChrysler|Daimler Mercedes-Benz]] and [[Peugeot]]. Production of Tatra cars ceased in 1999 but the company still produces a range of primarily all-wheel-drive [[4x4]], [[6x6]], [[Eight-wheel drive|8x8]], 10x10, and 12x12 trucks.
Mount Hebron High School was opened in 1965 as a junior high school. When Patapsco Middle School opened in 1969, Mount Hebron became a high school. [http://www.theviewnewspapers.com/article.asp?article=6431&paper=1&cat=199]</ref>
[[Image:Koprivnice CZ CoA.png|thumb|80px|Tatra Präsident on the Kopřivnice coat of arms.]]

== Early years ==
[[Image:Ignac Sustala memorial plaque.jpg|200px|left|thumb|[[Ignác Šustala]], founder of the company]]

[[Ignác Šustala]] (1822 - 1891), founder of the company in [[Kopřivnice]] ({{lang-de|Nesselsdorf}}), [[Moravia]], started the production of [[horse-drawn vehicles]] in 1850. In 1891 he branched out into [[railroad cars]] manufacture, naming the company Nesselsdorfer Wagenbau-Fabriksgesellschaft, and employed Hugo Fischer von Roslerstam as technical director in 1890. After the death of Šustala, von Roslerstam took over running the company and in 1897 he bought a Benz automobile. Using this for inspiration the company made its first car, the Präsident, which was exhibited in 1897 in Vienna. Orders were obtained for more cars and under the direction of a new young engineer [[Hans Ledwinka]] (1878-1967) ten improved cars were made.

[[Image:PresidentFirstCar.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Präsident (1897)]]

The first car to be totally designed by Ledwinka came in 1900 with the Type A with rear mounted 2714&nbsp;cc engine and top speed of {{convert|40|km/h|mi/h}}, 22 were made. This was followed by the Type B with central engine in 1902 but then Ledwinka left the company to concentrate on steam engine development. He returned in 1905 and designed a completely new car, the Type S with 3308&nbsp;cc 4 cylinder engine. Production was badly hit in 1912 with a 23-week strike and Hugo Fischer von Roslerstam left the company.

== Tatra concept ==
[[Image:T-11.JPG|thumb|right|150px|Tatra T-11 of 1924]]

After the World War I Nesselsdorfer Wagenbau was renamed Kopřivnice vozovka, and in 1919 the name Tatra was given to the car range. Leopold Pasching took over control and in 1921 Hans Ledwinka returned again to develop the revolutionary [[Tatra 11]].

The new car, launched in 1923 featured a rigid backbone tube with swinging semi-axles at the rear giving independent suspension. The engine, front mounted, was an air cooled two cylinder unit of 1056&nbsp;cc. The T 11 was replaced in 1926 by the similar T 12 which had four wheel brakes. A further development was the 1926 T 17 with a 1,930&nbsp;cc water-cooled six- cylinder engine and fully independent suspension.
In 1927 the company was formally renamed Tatra a.s..

== Prewar streamliners ==
[[Image:Tatra T87.jpg|thumb|240px|Tatra T87]]

Tatra's specialty was luxury cars of a technically advanced nature, going from [[aircooling|aircooled]] [[flat-twin]]s to fours and sixes, culminating (briefly) with the [[overhead cam|OHC]] 6 liter [[V12]] in 1931.<ref>Georgano, G. N. ''Cars: Early and Vintage, 1886-1930''. (London: Grange-Universal, 1985)</ref> In the 1930s, under [[Austria]]n engineer [[Hans Ledwinka]] and his son Erich, and protected by a high tariff and absence of foreign assemblers,<ref>Georgano.</ref> Tatra then began building advanced, streamlined cars, which started in 1934 with the large ''[[Tatra T77]]'', the world's first production [[aerodynamic]] car. The [[fastback]] T77's [[drag coefficient]] of 0.212 is rarely bettered even by the sleekest of modern cars. It featured (as did almost all subsequent big Tatras) a [[rear-engine design|rear-mounted]], [[aircooling|air-cooled]] [[V8]] engine, which was in technical terms very sophisticated for the time.


== Geography ==
Ledwinka discussed his ideas with [[Ferdinand Porsche]] who used many Tatra design features in the 1938 Kdf-Wagen, later known as the [[VW Beetle]]. This is particularly evident when compared with the smaller [[Tatra T97|T97]] model which had a rear-mounted, air-cooled, [[flat-4]] engine and rounded body styling. Tatra immediately started legal action, but the matter was not resolved until 1961 when [[Volkswagen]] was ordered to pay 3,000,000 [[German mark|Deutsche Marks]] in damages.
Mt. Hebron High School is located in suburban [[Howard County, Maryland|Howard County]], approximately 10 miles west of [[Baltimore, Maryland|Baltimore]]. It is on [[Maryland Route 99|Route 99]], Frederick Road, just west of [[U.S. 29]] and north of [[I-70]].


== War years ==
== Credentials ==
After the 1938 invasion of [[Czechoslovakia]] by [[Nazi]] [[Germany]], Tatras continued in production, largely because Germans liked the cars. Many German officers met their deaths driving heavy, [[rear-engine design|rear-engined]] Tatras faster around corners than they could [[car handling|handle]]. At the time, as an [[anecdote]], Tatra became known as the ''Czech Secret Weapon'' for the scores of officers who died behind the wheel; at one point official orders had to be issued forbidding German officers from driving Tatras.<ref name="time.com">{{Cite web|url=http://www.time.com/time/specials/2007/article/0%2C28804%2C1658545_1658498_1657833%2C00.html|title=1961 Corvair/Rear-engine cars|accessdate=2008-06-10|work=time.com}}</ref>


Mt. Hebron Boys' Soccer Team was ranked #20 in the nation in 2000.
== Postwar Communist control ==
[[Image:Tatra T600 Tatraplan.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Tatra T600 Tatraplan]]


Mt. Hebron was ranked 671th in ''[[Newsweek]]'' magazine's "America's Best High Schools" listing[http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12532678?s=900&np=12&sort=raa] in 2006 and was ranked 598th in 2007.
The factory was nationalised in 1946 when the [[Communist Party]] came to power. Although production of prewar models continued, a new model, the ''Tatra T600'' [[Tatraplan]] was designed -- the name celebrating the new Communist [[planned economy]]. It went into production in 1947. In 1951, the state planning department decided that the Tatraplan should henceforth be built at the [[Skoda Auto|Skoda]] plant in [[Mladá Boleslav]], leaving Tatra free to concentrate on trucks, buses and railway equipment.


Mt. Hebron has had the #1 girls' varsity [[lacrosse]] team in the nation for five of the past six years. The team has been #1 in Maryland for the past 12 years and #1 in Howard County for the same amount of time.

== The Tatra T603 ==
{{main|Tatra T603}}
[[Image:Tatra T603.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Tatra T603]]


In 2006, the boys' varsity soccer team won the county championship, 2A/3A regional championship, and the 3A state championship. They ended the season with an undefeated 17-0-4 record, the best in school history.
A mere three years later, amid much dissatisfaction among officialdom about the poor-quality official cars imported from [[Russia]], Tatra was again given permission to produce a luxury car, the famous [[Tatra T603]]. A fair successor to the prewar cars, it was also driven by a rear-mounted, air-cooled V8 and had the company's trademark aerodynamic styling. Uniquely, the Tatra T603 featured three headlights, and the first prototypes had a central rear stabilising fin, though this was lost for production. Fitted with almost [[Passenger vehicles in the United States|American]]-style thick [[Chrome plating|chrome]] [[Bumper (automobile)|bumper]]s with bullets (a.k.a. [[Dagmar bumpers]]), the Tatra T603 was an amazing looking car for [[1955]]. Looks weren't all it had going for it; performance was spritely for a large, six-seater car, and the ride was smooth as glass. Almost entirely hand-built, Tatras were not for everybody; normal citizens could not buy them. They were reserved for Party elites, Communist officials, factory presidents and other notables, as well as being exported to most other Communist nations as official cars. Even [[Fidel Castro]] had a white Tatra T603, custom-fitted with air conditioning.


In 2006, Elizabeth McCarter won the 3A state championship in cross country in a time of 19:49.11.
Tatra T603s were built until 1975, a twenty-year era as one of Communism's finest cars. Numerous improvements were made over this time, but not all the new cars built in this period were actually new. When a new Tatra replaced an old, the old vehicle was returned to the factory. There, it was upgraded to modern condition, refinished, dubbed ''new'' and sent out again as a putatively new vehicle to replace another older Tatra. This makes it hard to trace the history of surviving vehicles.


In 2008, the girls' varsity basketball team won the state championship with an undefeated record of 28-0.
In 2001, the British pop singer [[Lisa Stansfield]] drove a black T603 in her music video "Let's Just Call It Love".


==Students==
The T603 appeared in the 2005 movie ''[[Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events]]'' as the other car that looks odder than the [[Chrysler Imperial]].

===Soccer===
In 1968 a replacement was developed; the [[Tatra T613]]. It was styled by the [[Italy|Italian]] styling house of [[Vignale]] and was a more modern, less rounded shape. It was not until 1973 that any were actually produced by the factory, and volume production did not begin until the following year. Although the layout remained the same, the body was all new, as was the engine, being equipped with four overhead camshafts, a higher capacity (3495 cc) and an output close to 165 bhp. In addition, it had been moved somewhat forward for improved balance. These cars were built in 5 series and several modifications until 1996. It is a tribute to Vignale's excellent styling that they did not look dated until rather late in that time period. Over 11,000 cars were built, slowing to a trickle of but a few dozen a year towards the end as Tatras began to seem more and more outdated.

With orders and production almost at a standstill after the fall of [[Communism]] Tatra decided to stop building the T613 in 1996. An attempt was made to produce an updated version, the [[Tatra T700]]; it was largely based on the old car, with updated body panels and detail. Sales were poor, and having in its history produced a total of 90,000 cars, Tatra finally abandoned their manufacture in 1999 to concentrate on trucks.

The [[United States]] [[Terex Corporation]] acquired the majority ownership (71%) of Tatra in late 2003. As of late 2006, however, majority ownership (80.51%) lies in the hands of Tatra Holdings s.r.o., an international consortium comprising Vectra Limited of U.K., Sam Eyde of the U.S., KBC Private Equity of Belgium, Meadowhill s.r.o. of Czech Republic and Ronald Adams of the U.S. On 15 December 2006, a contract was signed between Tatra and the Czech Republic for 556 trucks at roughly $130,000,000 U.S., or 2,600,000,000 Czech Crowns. This contract was signed in lieu of replacement of older military vehicles.


In April 2007 Tatra announced that it had already matched its production in 2006 and produced 1,600 vehicles. In 2007 Tatra plans to produce between 2,300 and 2,500 vehicles. In contrast to previous years, Tatra has increased employment by the hundreds within the past two quarters, has reversed previous errors, and is growing again. Although there have been many struggles in the past decade, the company still remains one of the great prides of Czech industry and has proven to be a valuable asset to international engineering, with its unique assembly and production methods and designs.

In February 2008, Tatra announced the world's first (and so far, only) air-cooled engine meeting the new [[Euro 5]] standards. The press release claims 7.5 times lower emissions of [[particulates]] and 3.5 times lower emission of [[nitrogen oxides]] compared to the previous engine. Further, production of air-cooled engines should significantly reduce the production of greenhouse gasses due to the absence of liquid cooling systems. All Tatra vehicles from February 2008 onwards should use the new engine.<ref>http://www.tatra.cz/en/zajimavosti/Press%20ReleaseEURO5.pdf</ref><br />

A month later, Tatra CEO Ronald Adams told the The Prague Post Tatra could return to producing passenger cars, saying 'we would not come back to compete with the large automobile mass producers such as Volkswagen, Škoda, General Motors, Ford, etc. But we might come back with a replica of the old Tatra cars using a current undercarriage and driveline from one of the major automotive producers.'<ref>[http://www.praguepost.com/articles/2008/03/26/10-questions.php The Prague Post Online: Business: 10 Questions<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The company has launched a feasibility study, hoping to produce one thousand replicas of their legendary Tatraplan and 603 cars in 2010.<ref>[http://www.radio.cz/en/article/102624 Tatra plans to renew production of its legendary models - 03-04-2008 14:24 UTC - Radio Prague<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

Mount Hebron High School is a public high school located in Ellicott City, Maryland. It is part of the Howard County Public School System.

About the School

Mount Hebron High School was opened in 1965 as a junior high school. When Patapsco Middle School opened in 1969, Mount Hebron became a high school. [3]</ref>

Geography

Mt. Hebron High School is located in suburban Howard County, approximately 10 miles west of Baltimore. It is on Route 99, Frederick Road, just west of U.S. 29 and north of I-70.

Credentials

Mt. Hebron Boys' Soccer Team was ranked #20 in the nation in 2000.

Mt. Hebron was ranked 671th in Newsweek magazine's "America's Best High Schools" listing[4] in 2006 and was ranked 598th in 2007.

Mt. Hebron has had the #1 girls' varsity lacrosse team in the nation for five of the past six years. The team has been #1 in Maryland for the past 12 years and #1 in Howard County for the same amount of time.
