Almaguin Highlands SS

Welcome to the former Almaguin Highlands Secondary School. This large school was first opened in 1959, and closed its doors for the last time in 2010. A shiny new school with the same name and modern amenities opened just up the road in 2011.

The school is closed, most doors locked and very little vandalism considering it has been empty for five years. Someone was kind enough to provide an opening for folks who like to poke around. The roof is leaking in some places and some minor damage can be found, but overall I think this place was in fairly good condition. Some of the blackboards still have the days lesson written in chalk. Textbooks and test papers can be found in most classrooms. A few busted up computers and telephones also litter the floor. The gymnasium is eerily dark, with a thick coat of dust over the floor where students once competed for sport.

This was my first explore of such a large magnitude, I could have spent all day in here. Thanks to OAP for the tip. Well worth the trip to visit and explore.
