Elvis's Alma Mater: Inside Look at Humes High School with Principal Thomas

[@DebraBehrens-sn4bi]

Thanks Billy This is a great video to remember Elvis on his Birthday! Happy 89 Birthday to the King! Long live his Memory --Always TCB

[@curlnkay1]

My Aunt and Uncle went to school there with Elvis. They both have yearbooks signed by him and programs where they played in band together. To my aunt he said to a very cute girl. To my uncle he said to a great guitarist. I have pictures of both.

That is very cool!! If they ever want to sell those there are plenty of buyers!! [e-mail]

I love to hear the birds singing in their really wonderful tree-home. Thank you and Trey for the interesting video-infos about Elvis.

[@Godblessme70]

Love these memories I love the JROTC pic of Elvis High school years lovely

[@stanthrasher4815]

Simply the best!

[@jmf2471]

I know I’ve said this before but I can imagine Elvis loving your videos and appreciating “the walk through memory lane”. Seeing his old school. That auditorium doesn’t look much different than the footage from the documentary done back in the 80s. I hope they get the funding for the improvements they need. Great job!

[@kevinhodge1221]

I think it’s a middle school. But any use looks very expensive to repair. Just roof alone I’d expensive. It depends on what city council decides on what happens to a structure. Kennedy high school in Taylor Michigan will be demolished and replaced with a brand new high school. The one used now will be junior high school. Lorainohio has all modern public Schools.

[@mattskustomkreations]

Or Elvis shooting his computer monitor when he someone says something he doesn’t like. 😂

[@kevinhodge1221]

But he says it’s a junior high school now. Plus it is a very old school, so I’m sure that the city council will look at every angle and in some cases the school districts around here have just built new schools. It depends that one is 100 years old, so it might be near impossible to update itto modern standards

[@beehappy3209]

Wow so much in the school Is still original. What a beauty. Down in the locker room looks like it hasn't been touched since Elvis time. The line down the outside wall is definitely where that picture was taken. So glad it was like that- Ment to be. Thanks Spaguy n Trey 👍 🙏 enjoyed that

[@tupelomiss8315]

Hi billy. Trey & Hello mr Thomas - so Elvis room 124 .thank you so much for your tour to Elvis class room & rest room today,real treat as I caught it on his birthday 8th jan 2024 -47 years on & he’s still loved & missed the world over, I’ve been to the school in 2020 but it was a real treat to see inside our hero’s school. Thank you so much . Uk 🇬🇧

[@billconnelly4840]

Thank you guys . Superb every. Time .

[@patgrimes298]

Spa Guy, it is wonderful the school memorizes ELVIS, and I can see him at the school. I can see him in the auditorium, on the stage or in the audience l. I can see him in the boy's restroom, and his friend, "Red," coming to his rescue. It is wonderful the school can be toured after school hours. The school looks kept up and nice, and almost a hundred years old. ❤️IN MEMORY OF ELVIS AARON PRESLEY❤️

[@judyfrazier2462]

Wow! I bet if Elvis had lived longer, this high school wouldn't be in this shape. I believe he would have donated money for renovations or new buildings.Thanks for a great video and the principle was so nice to give a tour.

[@gracieg7601]

Good video Billy and Trey. YALL are fun!

[@helenludlow2331]

Great video on Elvis's birthday 💟

[@staciehrv6387]

Thank you Billy, Trey and P. Thomas for the tour. Bet if Elvis were alive today he'd donate funds to fix up the school, shame the city doesn't get a place for children fixed up.

This was a great video, I recognized the playroom from a documentary from Nick and Simon they are famous in Holland and played a song in that room. Very special the building is still there.

[@angelaneilson4364]

Spa Guy and Trey, This tour of the original school that Elvis attended was a treat for us to see. ( lucky! Trey sitting in Elvis’s school desk) Love the Elvis’s room, it is going to be amazing when all put together and we will definitely tour when we come to Memphis. I have a question: how do we fans know when Elvis’s room is complete that we will be able to tour ? We thank you Spa Guy ,Trey and the very nice,friendly and great tour guide Principal Mr.Thomas. Spa Guy, No ! it is not okay with us the fake foto or the movie as (We Are Not WCWAM) Great video! Arrivederci!

[@lynnelovett8999]

I hope they can get the improvements done. Hard to believe that if Elvis was still with us he would be 89. Happy Birthday Elvis. RIP Elvis. I wonder if Elvis would appreciate what you and Mr. Trey have done in preserving his history or think it a bit much Mr. Spa Guy? Absolutely correct on the FAKE movie !! Thank you Mr Spa Guy and Mr. Trey for another great video... tightened up and no double dribble 😊 ! God's speed.

[@mattskustomkreations]

The line in the bricks probably indicates when an expansion was added on. It’s essentially a “seam”.

[@johndeere8594]

I believe you did a video on Humes some time ago. I’ve been meaning to go back and find it because you featured a plaque on the wall by the exit that highlights the number of young men that went too that school who were killed in WW2. You want see anything like that in a modern school.

Great video Billy and trey. Over the years I've read just about all of the books, and watched all of the movies made about elvis. I took all of it with a grain of salt never know what Was accurate. Then I found you and have learned so much that I know is true because you have the evidence. So thanks for all you do for us Elvis fans. Now the movie I thoroughly enjoyed it I wasn't going for a history lesson just to be entertained. I get the only true history that is factual from you and trey. Thanks again

I went by there about 20 years ago and I had forgotten how far north in Memphis that is.

[@nathanbrodeur]

Billy the line in the bricks could have been from a building shift repair done a couple years before Elvis attended the school and the brick mason tried to get the grout to match the shade of the existing bricks but couldn’t cause you can see a foundation crack in the same spot as the bricks that look like a zipper

[@brendamckinney5534]

Where was Elvis in the photo? Was he still in High School? They all looked like they had service uniforms on. I think I spotted him back last row 2nd from the left, Am I correct? I'm still wanting to know why this picture was taken in front of his High School when he was in the service and what year was the picture taken?

[@SpaGuy]

He was in the JR ROTC. He joined while still in high school.. The U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) is one of the largest character development and citizenship programs for youth in the world. The National Defense Act of 1916 established organized JROTC programs at public and private educational institutions.

I have o idea where the picture came from but it is definitely not Elvis just look at him and the building is not the same building.. there are several pictures floating around saying they are Elvis and they are not this one appeared in Life magazine which makes it even worse..

I visited this school recently during Christmas week 2024 and it is now closed. The neighborhood roads surrounding it has trash and debris all over the roads. I bet they will demolish this school. I wonder what happened to the chair and other Elvis items. That plaque outside would be something to have.

[@marisascasserra3897]

[@kevinhodge1221]

I once had a dream about a high school, but it wasn’t a high school that I actually went to in Michigan. This particular high school that Elvis went to seems like it might’ve been a dream. But looks like this school may be beyond repair? There is a high school in Wyandotte Michigan that is about the same age as the school but I don’t know what condition that one is it it will be very hard to modernize the school. Maybe just a historic structure and probably have to build a new high school. Actually James Dean high school in Indiana has been torn down.

I have a brick gifted to me from the James Dean High School..
