Hey Nate, how about our Tigers beating Hoban to win the State this year?! Go Tigers!

I am a '73 graduate of WHS, and remember the newer section. Sad the older section is gone cause I remember that well...........the wooden floors and the windows that reached up to the ceiling. Remember the fire that someone set in the admin office to cover up a burglary. I still have my '73 annual. Nice that you included a picture of the gals behind the ticket office window.

lol I’m watching this now and I’m going to be a senior in HS. Makes me realize how much high school really doesn’t matter. 😂😂

Man you were lucky to only have 1 to 3 hours for saturday detentions. I went to Hoover and ours were 4 hours and nothing in between. I had a couple of those and they were brutal.

Omg you are giving me life... I went to school there for 2 yrs also... I can't remember my middle school... but it was the best school I ever went too. I think Chris spielman was a senior when I was a freshman.Thank you for showing it. I remember detention too....lol

Oh man. My niece is currently a senior at my former high school and they haven't changed it at all since I graduated in 2006.

I graduated from whs In 91. I too, had many Saturday schools but ours were in the room where we did thr drivers ed. So many memories. Thank you for sharing.

That was an awesome tour 🤗, I hated PE, but back in the 50's and 60's there wasn't much need because kids in my days were always on the go, we had bicycles, roller skates snd we used them unlike today!! Great job Nate!!

Thanks :) It was really neat being in there again! I couldn't place most of it, but I definitely knew the drivers ed room, the library, the ticket booth area, and that hall you saw through the doors at the beginning, right after I showed the pool entrance. I distinctly remember standing on the steps leaning on those aluminum handrails, wating for the final bell to ring so I could get the heck out of there lol

To be fair, kids now are told from day one that it isn't safe for them to do all those active outdoor things that you guys did in the 50s and 60s. Not to mention how police treat unsupervised kids (especially boys) outside.

I too hated Phys Ed. I just wasn't good at it or maybe I have ADHD and didn't pay enough attention to the instructions. Maybe they took it for granted everyone knew how to do these things. I got to attend my high school again as an adult learner as they turned it into an Adult Ed Center. 😊

Hi Nate! I used to live across the street from this school and I delivered their newspaper every day! This was about 10 years ago. We lived in downtown Massillon for about 5 years and then we moved away. You actually filmed our old house in your video! My uncle worked for the fire department down the street too. Anyway we love watching UrbEx videos on YT, so you got a new subscriber.

My first year of high school was in the old school. I was there long enough to figure my way around good, then we all got shipped to the new school where nobody knew their way around. Great video dude

My old HS is Valley Forge in Parma Hts. I graduated there in '69 and the school was only 5 yrs old.... now it's fate is unknown. My grad class was 1,100, lately the grad classes are around 300. The talk is they want to consolidate into the equally sparsely populated Parma High. When I attended VF, population of 10th, 11th, 12th grades totaled almost 3,500 kids - currently they've added 8th & 9th grade in, and entire school pop is roughly 1,500. My old elementary was closed and sat empty for some years, and is now a private charter school. My old jr high is now an elementary school, with about 75% of it closed off. The baby boom caused all that school construction in the 60s, and now that us boomers are old farts, they've converted a lot of elementary schools in the Parma, Berea, and other districts into retirement homes. Odd prospect... you could end up where you started out.

My old school recently got torn down, And it’s still hard to think about sometimes, I loved that school because it was small and had good teachers. It was the oldest school around at the time. I wish I could have seen the inside one last time in the year it sat abandoned, But it’s long gone now. I watched them rip it down day by day. I remember watching my grade 3 And 4 classrooms tear and crumble to the ground. It’s awesome you were able to see the inside of your own old school.

Hey great video I subbed!!! And I felt really really sad for you I'm sorry your old school looks this way..

My dad Howard Cooper was a long time history and government teacher at W.H.S. You just happened to go into his classroom for a few moments when you were on the second floor. I used to meet him there at the end of the day and we would ride home together. Thanks for the fond memories!

Graduated from WHS in 1970. No longer live in Massillon. Sometime in the mid-90's I drove my daughters down 1st street to show them where I went to high school. There was nothing there except this section which we always considered the "new part".

Couldn’t they use this as an elementary school instead of building a new one?

Hi Nate, Im 22 from London, UK. Ive just been listening to a lot of Red House Painters and Sun Kil Moon recently yearning for a time and a place that never existed for me- for some reason this video made me nostalgic for that time and place ! What were you listening to back in '91/'92?

Hey Nate, awesome video! One question though, since I'm not from USA, it's not common to me... but, mostly of these abandoned places that you show, just like this high school, have all the stuff still in there, for example the furniture, the weights from the weight room you filmed... why the people don't get all the things before leaving the place? is this common, to leave a lot of thing behind? Here in Brazil, no way this would happen haha, people would remove even the light bulbs before left! Keep up the great content! Loving it

amazingly it is very common here. There are always so many things left behind that could have been salvaged and either donated or sold, it's just crazy. More often than not, people just pick up and go, leaving tons of stuff behind, that ends up getting either destroyed by vandals, or just rotting away and being reclaimed by nature.

iera000 If that were the case with other places, I’m pretty sure abandoned Kmarts would still have shelves, carts, registers, and other things all to be rotten away by nature. I’m assuming that’s why my school district takes EVERYTHING, moves it to the new school, and tears the old one down. That’s why the only middle school was built in 2004, and the elementary in 2012

I wish my daughter could have gone to my old high school but it was torn down in 2012. It was built in the 1920s and added on to in the 1950s. Now that I'm older I appreciate the architecture of what the building was. Being in school I just thought it was really old.

dont feel bad bro i failed pe to lol

I remember when Shawn Moore stopped a man with a gun who was headed to Mr. Hennon's office.

Instead of letting it sit vacant why don't they turn it into affordable housing or maybe a apartment complex or something, typical massillon, that's why i live in florida (1982 whs graduate).

I have a school like that. Nate parry was a elementary school in the Liverpool new York school district. It was turned in to a office for the district but I think there playground was left behind for the in the area who live near the school. It was odd to go in there one time because I had to pick up some paper work from the office and the chairs were kid size and the rooms look like class rooms. The lunch room was there the gym is still used by school programs so odd to see adults in a school were once kids went to school there. Now yes they have taken out all the kids stuff but the chairs are still there. I think the lockers were there to.

I miss going to swimming class in elementary school, the tiger painted shark use to scare me as a kid.

I wish my daughter could have gone to my old high school but it was torn down in 2012. It was built in the 1920s and added onto in the 1950s.

That's a huge pool! Do you know if Westland H.S. in Columbus Ohio is open or abandoned?

Sad how time goes so fast and how things change over time

My high school, Woodbridge Senior High School, (graduated in 1996) celebrated it's 50th birthday in 2014, but the building was only 40 yeas old. How is that? That is because they moved into the newly built building in 1974. The old building became the middle school. In 2010, the high school went under a major renovation closing the open classrooms and took out the auto body shop because the school is focused on the Center of the Arts.

What year did you graduate because my mom might have gone to school with you!!

It's amazing

The sad part of my town is when a school closes, it gets torn completely down to the ground. Take PG elementary for example

You lived in the Breakfast Club.

I'm surprised there's so much stuff still left over in the classrooms after all these years and too bad they tore down the old historical part of the school sounds like it was just a tax write-off.

I can guess your age by you mentioning 91 to 92 school year. That's when I graduated. I went to 3 high schools. Norwalk High, Norwalk CA, Jordan High North Long Beach CA and Kingman High in Kingman AZ. The schools in So Cal will NEVER be abandoned. Long Beach public schools are jammed pack. Jordan was at 3300±. They are bull dozing the school and rebuilding it! Kingman High was refurbished! Only thing standing was the beams! They have also refurbished Norwalk high. They can't leave a school abandoned. I don't know the stats on Excelsior high in Norwalk. But I do know know they outright bulldozed Hoxie Ave Elementary school. It should have been left open. IMO.

My ex-wife graduated from there in 1988. I graduated from the old Fairless HS south of Massillon, and just recently found out that it has been flattened out of existence upon the opening of their bigger/newer version. This follows on from my old elementary in Navarre also being completely erased around the late 2000's, a building that stood for I believe over 100yrs. The memories.
