That guys been there for years. He was a custodian that lost his job when they shut the school down and never left. I was told he lived there and admin was just hush hush about it and allowed it.

The Gym at 9:22 is the original gym of that school. I used to run that upper track for cross country team conditioning. That was my school!

[@sourmatt]

FireSarge what happened to it?

[@firefighter9123608]

@@sourmatt the steel mill..U.S. Steel closed down. The whole city of Gary was built around the steel industry. Over time the mill closed, crime went up, business started leaving Gary, people moved out of the city because of crime and no jobs, less people less need for the schools, no students abandoned schools. The City of Gary ran out of money, the city's department of education went bankrupt and the state came in and took it over. That state wasnt about to pay to keep these old buildings, treasurers really, in good repair. I went to Lew Wallace Highschool in the 80s my Dad also graduated from that Highschool in the 60s. That old gym was the main gym of the school. The bigger gym by the cafeteria was added later.

[@martinxplo]

Wow this must be weird to watch this video

[@firefighter9123608]

@@martinxplo it is very strange and heart breaking to see this video. A lot of memories from then. The 80s was the best Era to grow up in, to see that beautiful building looking like that physically hurts.

[@deepdirt]

8:39 the graffiti “keep this place secret” idk why but that made me feel this like warm, haunting nostalgia for some reason. It made me remember being 16-17. where everyday was just a new adventure (those adventures would usually end with us getting in trouble) being kids doing shit we weren’t supposed to and finding places to hang out like this with friends and smoke weed, that just became hidden sanctuaries for us. All the stories that took place here, that I’ll never know and am never meant to know, makes me feel this strange beautiful sadness.

[@jamesmcdonald5868]

People truly do not understand how quickly a large building, such as a school or a hospital can start to break down! Part of the maintenance of the building is that the maintenance department hears from the employees or visitors to these structures that there might be a leak in the ceiling in a small spot in one room, but when there is nobody there to maintain it. One little droplet of water can lead to many droplets which will quickly degrade and this is what happens. Not maintaining the overall facade of a building and lo and behold. This is what happens! Deterioration and quickly. After that , it's saturates , the interior of the rooms underneath the ceiling and it just spreads like wildfire.

[@soraii]

I misread the title as “abandoned gay high school” 💀

That's because you're not from around these parts. We don't blame you this time but don't let it happen again. It's GARY INDIANA. I know you heard of Michael Jackson 👍 it's his home town

[@AdventureswithBeck]

This place is pretty cool! Looks a lot like this one school I have near me. That room you crawled through was definitely worth it. That was awesome seeing all of the history in there. Kind of glad it’s not easily accessible to be ruined. Awesome video and explore!

[@Adventureduo-w6y]

9:58 your shadow, scared the life out of me😭

[@dniksich]

I actually went there and graduated in 83. I went in there in 2015 and took a lot of pics when it was still in decent condition.

[@SueGirling68]

Hi, there was so much still left in this school, which is highly surprising that kids etc haven't cleaned up and sold it all. Thanks for sharing another nicely made video. x

[@bsage5514]

Incredible explore you covered alot of territory inside of there, kinda freaky about the ambulance outside and all the slamming around inside, Thank you for this one a real roller coaster of an explore for sure!!! 🏫 📕 📚 📖

4:23 I hope someone rescued that plush doll before they demolished the school. She looks like she was someone's best friend at some point in the past if her owner took her to high school.

We come to Gary from outside of Chicago to chill without worrying about cops or the gangs 24/7 to smoke n stuff. Very peaceful in the day time. I always pass the school but never go inside. Cheers

Really sad! This building could be useful with the right renovation

[@tylerandleahcanadian3888]

Would cost more to renovate than just restart

[@cavianguardian]

Tyler And Leah Canadian ok I’m all ears because we need a solution to all these abandon/unused properties that can be useful for something

[@myrnawashington9057]

Darn shame, they could have given alumni opportunities to come in and get trophies and year books, maybe let them purchase desk, tables, chairs. Maybe children, grandchildren would have liked to have some of those things. A lot of that stuff could have been sold as salvage or recycled, money could go towards school programs. What a waste. SMH It has to be heart braking for some to see the school they attended and had happy times there, to see it looking like this.

I know it's the mantra of many explorers to leave a place in the same state in which you entered it, and I agree to the point of destroying things or writing something in stupid spray paint, but do you ever take a keepsake from each explore? I always like to take a little something. That odd doll at 12:22 would have been perfect.

​@@dadehalcyon9856 why commit two crimes and get an extra charge though?

[@dadehalcyon9856]

@@johnnymac8843 Garbage left in an abandoned building are akin to trash put out on the curb. It's just that nobody has bothered to move it to the trash can yet. I'm not suggesting you gut the place for copper wiring or something. I doubt that if you're caught trespassing in a building that nobody have given a shit about for years, the police aren't going to care if you have a piece of garbage in your backpack, or could even prove that's where it came from. Now if you broke into an abandoned government building and found government papers lying around, then sure, leave them there. But a random piece of trash on the floor, especially one that some other explorer or squatter probably left there themselves, is harmless. And if you're an explorer worried about getting caught at all, then it's probably not a great idea to film yourself breaking in and uploading it to the internet in the first place.

Sneaking into andoned buildings at night is not a thing to do. There thousands of people living and spending night in such places and why you so stupid to risk to scare a psychopath on drugs who is maybe a fighter and out of control? Scared people are the most dangerous. Go there only after having talked to locals/authorities or owners/responsables who know if somebody is there already. Second step, come only during day announcing at loud voice who you are and what you want. This is minimum social respective behaviour and go to other peoples places only the way you like people come to you otherwise destiny will make sure that unrespectful people will come to your place one day one way or theother. You cannot fool destiny. Please respect millions of people worldwide have no choice but beeing in such places for real survival. ❤️
