      Me too, although I'd have to wait an incredibly long time, because the school I went to from PrK3 to Grade 12 was brand new when I started and had always been getting new upgrades up until graduation. So it's still incredibly modern, and I can't see it being abandoned for several decades.

    It's a Great thing you took your yearbook with you, because the next time you come to revisit the school, there is no telling how the school would look in the future! In the making of this video, at least the school looked great while it was abandoned, but sadly we all know what happens in America to abandoned buildings. I'm glad you were able to revisit your school, where I live, my elementary school is being expanded due to a growing population of students. Great Video!

    I can't even comprehend how that must feel. The schools I went to are all still in use and they even finished expanding the second elementary school with a second floor after I left for middle school. To go back and find either elementary school I went to or my middle or high schools closed down and completely abandoned, I think that would upset me more than anything else it would make me feel.

      Savannah Ferrell I'm not sure if this is true but we will never know the real answer but maybe because at the start of the video he said the school shut because a lot of chemicals and it was old so maybe they didn't want to take the desks and chairs incase they were containing chemicals and then brought them into the new school, or it could just be the simple reason the desks look quite old fashioned and they wanted to give the school a more modern look but idk

    I have fond memories of each of the schools I've been through, each for better or worse. Unfortunately, my old Elementary school was closed down (but luckily, not abandoned). I'd relish the opportunity to walk through and say hello to any of the teachers who've been there while I was growing up. Many of them don't use social media, but I hope they're all living wonderful lives, and if not, I hope those who are no longer here with us were able to live peacefully, knowing how many lives they've changed. Man, how simple, lucky, and wonderful of a childhood...

      Mine 🙋‍♂️ too... Not exactly a school, but a university. Our classes were on the hilly part of the campus. During the duration of my studies, classes were gradually moved to newer buildings off the hills. Years later, the classrooms blocks in the hilly part was abandoned. Recently, those buildings are now demolished. Really sad to see that. All my memories, gone.
      Also, there's blocks of student dormitory which was already abandoned when I began studying there. Those blocks are haunted by a female ghost and djinns and are off limits to students. Now, these blocks are demolished too. University admin decided to return those demolished place back to nature (with some hiking trails for people exercising).

My school in Vancouver BC Canada where I live was built back in 1910 and in 1912 General Wolfe School had its first few students! And now it's booming with lots of students..I went to General Wolfe School in 1971 and graduated in 1979 our elementary school (as we Canada calls it was from kindergarten to grade 7.. and high school is from Grades 8 to 12) 🙂🙂
    And just a year or two ago my school had to shut down for a few months or year to upgrade for systemic upgrade (Earthquake upgrade and asbestos and led upgrade) for safety reasons 🙂🙂 even my brother went to the same school ..I went to High school and he was in my school (elementary school) so I understand how you feel about awesome memories even I had awesome memories too of my school and my favorite teacher etc 🙂🙂👍👍

    My junior high is still in use but, as a grade school. Even my old high school is still being used today. When I was a freshman in high school just before Christmas break a senior burned the oldest part of the school up. Almost the entire 2nd floor in the old part was gone. It was back in December 1984. When I was my high school the following day that I broke down in tears. Even us students were bused to another school a half hour away in a smaller high school. It was split that the juniors and seniors in the mornings. Freshmen and sophomores in late mornings to late afternoons. I remembered getting home at 6pm. I even had P.E. at my old school and even looked outside to see the fire damage. It took 2 and a half years to get back to the high school. It was still under construction during the school year. That was my senior year. I was even hanging out with my good friend that year after school. He was a junior that school year. We became close to each other as really good friends. He was very shy and quiet guy. I’m more outgoing person. We even went to prom together. I loved to go back and see my high school again since I was in it for 1 school.

    I don't blame you whatsoever taking the yearbook. I would have done the same thing if I was in one of my schools that had been abandoned. All the schools I ever attended are still in operation, except one----Mayfair Elementary, which taught grades 4 through 6 in Dearborn Heights, MI. That school was severely damaged in a tornado in 1974, and had to be demolished. It had a companion elementary school, Polk Elementary, which taught Kinder through 3. It was across the teacher's parking lot from Mayfair. Kids started out at Polk, then switched to Mayfair as they got older. Polk Elementary is still in operation---it wasn't in the tornado's path. I lived a mere 4 blocks away from the complex, so walked to school with 30-40 other kids in the neighborhood who also attended school there. I left MI in 1970 for AZ, and finished school in AZ. All those schools are in operation as well. I don't think I could explore an abandoned place that I used to know before it was abandoned. Too sad, too many memories. Great video. (Jan Griffiths).

    I hated my middle and high school years and I hated my school but seeing my school abandoned would just tear me apart, all the good memories that would be lying in an abandoned building for the rest of time is just heartbreaking… 😢

    My old junior high and both my high schools got torn down and rebuilt (1952, 1961, 1973). It was sad to watch them be torn down. They were replaced, but it's never the same . . . The '73 high school was only 26 years old when they tore it down! It was still new, to me. My brother went to school with Pee-Wee Herman and that school was built in 1926. It still exists, but they gutted it and turned it into an art museum. My mom's high school was built in 1934 and it still stands, in perfect condition, and it is used every day. It was very well-built. In my old high school, they left behind all the furniture, just like in your school. The amount of waste in this country is unbelievable! No wonder we're 32 trillion dollars in debt.
    I wanted to go through my old school and video-tape it before it was demolished, but they wouldn't let me. I could only tape from the outside as they worked. In July of 1999, all I had was an RCA VHS camcorder from Sears that weighed about 10 pounds and it sat on my shoulder. I came back on like six different days and got about 4 hours of tape. I still have it.

      Asbestos is only dangerous if it is in spores (airborne), lead has to be ingested (probably in the pipes), and mercury is usually airborne.
      I would like to hope they cleaned out the mercury, but it’s doubtful.

    I would love to explore my first Daycare Center. It's recently been abandoned, cause the city decided to combine the other existing daycare centers into bigger facilities. It's kinda sad, because those buildings had charm, character and full of warm memories. Personally I hate the modern style of architecture. My home town is filled with ugly cement monstrosities while the old historic buildings are either torn down or just left to rot.

    I can’t imagine my elementary, middle, or high school being abandoned! Especially my high school. My grandparents went there, my parents went there. My great uncle has his name on the front of the school because he was a legend there. My family has so much history at my high school. I hope it’s never completely discarded like this!

      Yes it does seem large for a middle school but imagine it if they would have kept it as a high school. It would have needed to be that big maybe possibly bigger

      I went and took pictures of mine at different times of the demolition. They tore it down so quickly, I was thinking that they would tear it down in the summer but nope, right in the middle of January 2016!
