This school is enormous - 200,000 plus square feet and 25 acres of land. It has been abandoned since 2008. The location is obviously very easy to find. I accessed the property through a hole in the fence by the tennis courts and the building through a shattered glass panel window. Watch out for glass doing this. I'm very skinny and That may not be possible if you're wide!
Even though the building is completely trashed with senseless graffiti all over, it was a great explore. Due to the enormous size of the school there's still much to see with a lot of natural light - a cosmetic classroom, library, hallways, woodworking class, etc. The auditorium can be accessed, but since they tried to shutter it off, it is completely pitch black inside.
I recommend exploring here with a buddy if you can. Based on what I saw inside, I wouldn't be surprised if there were meth heads and other unsavory characters hanging around here. The building frequently makes the local news for arson.
