In this episode I explore a massive abandoned high school in the United States with Edwin, which has a creepy vibe.
The school closed because they moved to a more modern building. The school is abandoned for over a decade and it turns out to be a time capsule. Everything is left behind and there's no vandalism. Even the electricity is still working!

I've not even seen this school at the Proper People channel. Amazing find! And not one tag or other vandalism! Love it! And I am always amazed of how well equipped American schools are. Instruments, iMacs, all kind of sports and work shops, kitchens, sometimes even hairdresser classrooms, library, auditorium, drama class, sometimes a swimming pool, labs... etc. When I think about the German schools I went to in the 90s... We still had books from the 60s for some classes, no computers, nothing, old equipment also from the 60s. Our school was basically a building with tables, chairs and black boards in it. That was it.
Haha same here, but we had a biology classroom with some stuff though!
This is a pain point for american schools-- we keep pumping more and more money into them, but the kids' performance doesn't seem to improve as a result. There are complicated reasons why this is, and why just throwing money at the problem is the wrong approach, but that's why american schools are so well-equipped.
Proper people annoy me. They have incredible access and contacts, but annoying voices lack maturity.
I went to an American school until I was 10, a particularly good one in a rich neighbourhood, and then I went to a middle school on a mountain in Portugal, the classrooms, tables and chairs looked like they were from the 60s or 70s, the only computers were in the library, and aside from a nice basketball court there were no specialized classrooms or anything specific to any subject, just rooms with tables and chairs and blackboards. This was in 2010. To be honest, if I had only gone to the nice American schools, I would probably be an insufferable ass, the hardcore experience in Portugal made me a better person, although the bullying required some therapy later on :P
@@MrMadalien Thats all I think about in these school episodes. Imagine all the abuse that went on in these halls. Kids are animals. I wasn't bullied that much but I felt bad for the ppl at the bottom. But you cant say anything. Bully or be bullied. School is a bad idea.
That was a cool explore. The place appears to be really untouched. I always like it when places aren't totally vandalized.
I never visit vandalized places :) I like real time capsules, and even better if I'm the first explorer.
10:12 - c'mon, man - you need to flick the thumb lock when pulling open these drawers. The cabinet locks are missing/popped-open 🤣
Came here to say this!!! Those cabinets were UNlocked. All they needed to do was slide the thumb latch, hold, THEN pull handle. Locked cabinets have the key knob pushed IN when locked; they weren’t pushed in. Was hoping they’d show more investigative interest and problem-solving curiosity. Also thought “do they have ANY idea how many USA buildings were constructed with asbestos products, esp tiles?? And that asbestos is still imported to the US in 2022??“ It’s not supposed to be disturbed. As they were walking around so casually they were most certainly kicking up loosened asbestos particles and breathing them in. Probably doing so in every place they explore on this planet. If you guys end up with serious lung issues as you age you’ll know where it started.
They can film but they know not much about other
Simple things like not leaving antique musical instruments just to be busted up I don't care what anyone says about leaving everything alone
For a place only abandoned since 2009, it's pretty wrecked. 2009 would have been my sophomore and junior years of high school. I feel old now, and I'm not even 30!

So much natural decay in such a short time.... amazing!
Once the roof goes on these structures it doesn't take long for the decay to set in. I suspect that the that the roof was already or close to being compromised when they closed the school in 2009. The municipality focused on the new school construction and not what to do old. You can see this in thousands of communities across the country.
The later classrooms look like the most quintessential 90s classrooms I’ve ever seen
I can't believe this school still has power! So interesting. Definitely a great horror movie setting.
Bob, you might be the only person i've ever heard refer to the 2007-2010 as "the late zeros" haha. usually it's "the late 00's (oh-ohs)" or the "late two thousands". great find! looks like in the Northeast. cheers
The amount of decay in just 12 or so years is astounding!
Nature is always in decay because it is so slow we never notice it.
Crazy how raw it remains after more than 10 years! Keep up the great work!!
Fun!! In the high school at the file cabinet you needed to push the metal piece next to the handle to the right to open the drawers!!!
I'm glad you arrived safely. Thank you very much for sharing this location🏚
Excellent find! Nice quality filming too. 13:33 those bass/cellos, even in bad shape, are pretty expensive. Someone should recover it and fix it.
Pretty much doubt they could be made to return to their former glory as fine playable instruments at a cost that makes economical sense. Maybe as display pieces at most?
@@BilisNegranot true about the baritone laying in the floor when they came in you don't know they can't be fixed and they definitely should not be left there
Sad to see this. Especially when things are getting demolished. They have no idea what's left on the inside. Too bad you couldn't take important things like good notebooks and stuff. That school honestly deserves the best. You shouldn't touch things, who knows how old it is and what happened to them. But it's so sad to see all that go to waste. Tons of dollars there where is this located?
They won't say you're right that stuff needs to be saved nobody else cares why should people have a false sense of do good 😂
Be sure and put everything back exactly by the way you found it😂
With the electricity working, I would have tried one of the phones. You never know, might still be connected and working :D
Was really nice to see how unspoiled it all was, apart from the natural decay.
Hope you enjoyed the unexpected stopover in Dublin. Maybe someday you'll do a video in Ireland......not that there's much to explore here.
Is curious that school don't get vandalized yet, in the US everything that gets abandoned gets destroyed and looted by people. Nice exploration bob!
It's our task to be 3 steps ahead of the rest.
it was very cool, i havent had the chance to catch up on all your past adventures but nice to see this one in my country
This location looked so much like fallout 4 suffolk charter school. Very interesting video!
No ominous pink goo dispensers, just green floor slime
Some valuables left behind.
Not sure what state this school was in but here in Michigan where I live there are a lot of schools abandoned. Because of our cold winters they end up just like this. Also, the scrappers go in and get anything of value. Great explore, I was shocked it wasn’t vandalized. 👍🏻😊
Thanks for watching Andrea, I have been to quite some abandoned places in Michigan aswell😊
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath what's the name of the school?
Yeah but Chernobyl is cold af too.
@@default123default2Michigan has more wet winters
Ha, I work at a community college in the US, and have the same Primex clock on the wall in my office.
How can it have decayed THAT much, that quickly?!
Hole leak in the roof + winters and rain
2:55, that is a Tuba.
they don't have these in Europe or Germany I think they just fart to make face towns
I love this! Glad your video was recommended by CZcams. I subscribed and look forward to watching more!
Easy Bob. Craig greatful to you for sharing your exploring adventures. You are big fun to see:) I know that you have a book out which respectfully contains, as you say world wide places.
Personally, the explores with risks or crafty gaining entries or hiding out which is actually in most cases are gripping to watch.
Bob you are A-OK. Also to your buddies who explore along with you too. Good luck. From Craig. UK.
13:40 First time ive seen Bob scared. There really is something creepy about this one. Just imagine all the abuse between kids that went on in those halls. Kids are animals. Finding that book about the Soviet Union in an American school was a nice touch.
thanks for checking out! One of my really scariest moments (most are not on camera) was this super rusty staircase I went up. A real death trap.

Wauw wat een toffe locatie Bob, een locatie waar de tijd echt stil staat, behalve op die ene werkende klok. Apart dat de elektra er nog op zit! De mate van decay is echt bizar voor 12-13 jaar, maar dat zal dan wel door het klimaat komen. Toffe video weer :)
I would say what happened is the roof developed a leak sometime after the school shutdown. Most likely because of snow buildup melting and the water pooling in certain areas on the roof, or just because maintenance to the roof wasn't done after the school shutdown. Leak most likely happened in the room where the ceiling completely collapsed. Then all that water was in the building just evaporating then condensing repeating that cycle over and over again until the rest of the building was in the state it was in when they went in. Now the power being on, that would be because this building is still owned by whoever ran the school before, most likely the local town/city, and they would keep the power on to buildings they still own so that they can go in and periodically do maintenance, inspections etc..., in fact I bet until the water leak happened and the next time someone went in there, they actually still had one of the boilers still running to keep some heat in the place to keep pipes from freezing so that they could keep the fire suppression system powered up as well. However since the leak happened, they powered down the boilers, as there's most likely a hole in roof now and they'd be wasting energy trying to keep the place heated, completely drained the water lines and shut the main valve, and right now could be trying to decide whether to completely condemn the building, try to sell it as is, or if it's worth the cost to try and fix it up and sell it or repurpose it for another use.
@21 minutes. A card catalog featuring the Dewey decimal system. Each card represents a shelved book in that library.
How has a building this decayed, with power, not burned down yet.
Just because it's decayed does not mean it's going to short out and burn. If something shorts out its still running through breakers😂
24:25 obviously projectors were in there at one time the power supplies are still there😂
Love your videos! Keep them coming and thank you for your passion!!!
Those are some excellent quality hardbacks in the library. It’s unfortunate that they’re damaged and decayed.
Really enjoyed this one thats crzay how the power is still on there
Second musical instrument was an old tuba with the missing Bell
Leaving the American flag behind was a mistake
Awesome Video like usual
I WOULD LOVE to visit stuff like that
Wow, great video, bob! Hopefully you're not in too much trouble with Italy...
Good to see you in the states on new adventures
Cool video and amazing abandoned school 🤙🏽 Greatings from Hungary 🇭🇺
Great video for Sunday .. 🦾 Top location and almost only natural decay 🤩
Naval Air Warfare Center Trenton in NJ is a good spot
I think the EXIT signs are not electric. Up to nineteenth was common to use for emergency sign to use low radioactive ink glowing in the darkness
You guys visit some really great places 👏👏👏.
@21:37 it is card catalog to look up position of book on shelf
14:08 interesting. The doors are clearly not insulated, definitely not high pressure. Water tubes, looks like only the right tank/boiler was operating...🤔
Oh that piano will make sound still
Bob, wat een feest om naar te kijken! Lekker bezig!
20:40 weirdest tables-with-chair-attached-to-them I ever saw, can't figure out what keeps them up / upright
23:52 Russia is a country of abandoned factories, schools, hospitals, sometimes entire cities. You can visit a lot and show it on the channel.
Another amazing video guys!!
It's a good Explore. no graffiti. People are too scared to go in I expect.
Insane content bro keep it up
Very cool place!!!
Another great find!
Great video as always 🙌🏼
very cool, no bandits found its way to tag this place yet
I love seeing abandoned stuff on the inside.
We explored quite some cool things like space shuttles, submarines, warships, etc.
@@ExploringtheUnbeatenPath I've seen the space shuttle episode also. Really cool.
2:50 That's no trumpet, that's a tuba
Absolutely fantastic content.
The old Viola you just walked by is worth a mint too bad somebody was just come in and bust it
I believe some of these things should be saved instead of just leaving it as it is like it's some kind of holy relic my God some of us pay taxes for this stuff
Nice old BARITONE..
Seems a waste of alot of the stuff they left when they moved to the new school!
Yes they left all those library books behind. They should have auctioned off all the old equipment to raise some money and clear the site for demolition.
I may have missed it but where is this school located?
To open file cabinet : grasp uppermost handle with right hand , use thumb to slide lock button to the right and tug handle. Once top drawer is open, the rest of the drawers are now accessible. F.Y.I. in future.
They were locking filing cabinets. Look on top right, slot for key
@@bir4y633 You're right that they're locking, but the fact that the lock was poking out should mean it was unlocked. It's spring- loaded and you push it in until it clicks to lock it.
What are the odds that the next high school to transform into an Urbex destination would be Colonia High School in NJ, USA? (AKA the high school of many alumni with cancer)
okay this is interesting please do tell more I'll look up what I can later but it'd be interesting to hear about this
In the U.S. Catholic schools have uniforms as they always have. In Kansas City, Missouri. The schools went to uniforms to stop some of the clothing that was worn. Trying to make everyone equal to each other. Something along those lines if I'm remembering correctly. Thanks again for your videos. I always enjoy.
Did you see the 346 problem of Euclid?
my favourite intro music is finally back! oh yeah
Glad you like it... made a lot of different ones with the same music :D
The power was probably left on in certain locations to burn the lights when the building was in good shape so the police could go in there and inspect it or check on things plus it would cost a fortune to demolish that school so they figure they'll let it fall apart then haul it off just a thought
Que buen video , que buenos sitios abandonados hay en el mundo, aunque uno quisiera que no fuera así. Tantas cosas que mucha gente necesita y se deterioran con el tiempo.
Thankfully, this place has not been vand... Well, I guess it's nearly as much in shambles as if it had been (yes, natural decay only is so much better to watch, but you get the point...).
So good as always
Thanks! Just back from an EPIC trip :O
What a waste of taxpayer money to not sell all of that equipment when it was retired. Now they will decay and eventually be destroyed
that was fantastic 👍😀
Welcome to America I hope you enjoy your stay
Nossa estes lugar é incrível... Excelente vídeo top demais... Como gostaria de explorar este lugar... Show... Tmj... Abração do AVENTUREIRO PAULEK!
Just like a day at work. Mayhem 😂
Hope it's a little cleaner though :P
To be honest with you I have no clue how the american school system works but my understanding is there are public and private schools but both depend of donations. So I'm always suprised what will be left behind when a school changes its location. I mean you couldn't take everything with you but there is always at least one piano left behind. These are probaly not the best out there or had to be fixed in the first place but they're worth something for somebody at least. Or these books - There are obviously some that are not usefull for education cause they are out of date or so but even than someone would've find them interesting and pay for them. Or old computers like that iMac - Clearly someone would pay some dollars for that thing.
What I'm trying to say is: Why aren't there clearance sales for this stuff? Wouldn't that free some founds to spend on new stuff you would need in the new building? What's the point of leaven these items to rott and ultimately throwing them into an dump alongside the rest of the building if someone would've bought them? Are there legal reasons or just a case of out of sight is out of mind? I don't get it.
In the U.S. there exists three different types of schools: public, charter (semi-private) and private. Public schools do not receive any donations. They are strictly funded by tax payer dollars. Clubs at the public schools receive donations.
Some public schools do have uniform requirements. That will depend on the school, but not the district.
Loved your video
The Real Crime in this one is just how much could have been salvaged and donated out to poorer schools
True that😔
You should have touch the piano yea 😳
I can't go back to school. I'd just get detention. Lol As always, all the best to everyone. Chef Scott 👩🍳
Thanks for checking out! We also have some more adventurous stuff on our channel😎
magnifique xplo !
O esporte dos tempos de Apocalipse. Emocionante em todo tempo de partida. Só fica melhor se além do eixo de lugar puder escoclher o quando.
The sport at the Apocalipse's times. Exiting at all around the round. Just to be better, if also the area in space, it be possible go in the time line .....
(The sport of the times of the Apocalypse. Exciting at all times of departure. It only gets better if, in addition to the place axis, you can choose when.)
Nice place, nice video...
Hey Bob, where is Eelco? Really missed on the channel mate
Muito top essa escola 😲
Lol you can tell those license plates immediately if you are from around there. I dont get the secrecy
People go there just to smash the whole location.
My God, that is what is wrong with America ( the Un-United States of America) today. There Flag in the Ruble said a thousand words, no more on less!!!!!!
Mooie explore😎Heel vervallen
Thanks weer Menno!
What school is this and where?
Good ol’ American craftsmanship - completely fell apart in 12 years.
So they want Bob to have a pasta diet for 5 years?
Yeah, an update about this coming soon!
Cool new intro
Thanks ! made a lot of different ones in the same format :)
2:39
Is it still there? I’m going to do it today
Should be😁
The link to buy your book just says Store closed :(
Yes, turned out I had to renew the subscription... the link works again and I put discount on the books too ! :)
Yeah you look at the card and get the number you don't rip it out of the drawer😂
Woops🥹🙃
