Side Notes

There have been rumors of a sprawling tunnel network system in which many rooms within the school & some smaller, nearby buildings are all connected. These tunnels were originally meant for staff to have easy access to power lines, telephone lines, & pipework. However, students used to sneak into the tunnels & have been sealed up since then.

Known Entrances include:

  • AG Room
  • Armory
  • Band Room
  • Girls Locker Room
  • Gym Stage
  • Northern Boys Restroom
  • Weight Room
