My elementary/middle had a small convent, but the last nun was the principal until like 2000 and then she retired. The priest lived at the affiliated church about a mile away. But my high school was built in the 50s and had a church built in, but no one lived there. Actually, nor did the catholic school my grandmother went to in the 50s before that shut down. Maybe it's a more common thing in some states. Where I am in NY, above 3 hours above NYC, it definitely isn't a common thing.
@Rick Delair The old CRT (cathode ray tube) (picture tube )televisions, or even computer monitors contained phosphorus which would illuminate when electrons hit it. The burn in was when the screen was on for hours, and that image was burned into the glass by the phosphorus,. That;s why old computers had screen savers, and it was wise to always change the channel on picture tube televisions back then.
saw a TV that had a tube blow out on it who ever was watching it was watching a porn video the image of a big black guy with a big dick was burned into the tv screen.
How do we know they plan to throw it all away? Could be temprarily placed there. If they do throw it away maybe it's because it's contaminated with asbestos dust. I don't know, it's difficult to make assumptions either way.
I went to this school from 1993-1997. This is Saint Peter Chanel High school opened in the 50s and was closed in 2013. It closed due to declining enrollment due to the closer of some of its feeder elementary schools. Has been the sad general trend in the Cleveland area but more so in Bedford and the southeast Cleveland suburbs it drew students from as well. In 1991 there was a huge chemistry fire that caused 250-500k in damage. This school was famous for having the longest football losing streak on record losing 50 in a row until September 1994 when we beat Garfield Heights something that was mentioned on David Letterman. The school turned the football program around and actually won the state title in 2001 and was runner up in 2000, quite a turnaround. The school also won state championships in boys and girls basketball, and wrestling. The school has some famous alumni including Tom Ganley, and NFL players Steve Cargile, Ernie Kellerman, Markus Steele, Brandon "Bam" Childress and Gene Smith (now Ohio State Athletic Director). There are a lot of stories in those halls, this is an excellent video, it shows places I hadn't even seen.
Such an amazing building that one, but sorry to hear it had a huge chemical fire in 1991. My high school science labs are rebuilt due to one of those. RIP to this school. May all memories be not forgotten
It's SO important.. it always bothers me to see people exploring these abandoned places without masks. I made that mistake. For fifteen years I was a paranormal investigator going into abandoned places trying to catch evidence not even thinking about what I was breathing. Now I have about 45% lung function. They seem to think it won't happen to them. Neither did I.
@@shadowfigure3749 I'm so sorry to hear that!! I always cringe when watching since they rarely wear masks. Wish they would invest in some personal protective equipment. I feel like they should even wear some type of protective suit over their clothing! I want to do research and post links about the dangers of asbestos and black mold exposure but I don't want to come across as some sort of psycho fan LOL!
A bit of back story on this school. I’m from the Greater Cleveland area and this school was located in Bedford, OH about 20 some minutes from Downtown Cleveland. The school was known as St. Peter Chanel High School and was ran by the Marists and was originally an all boys school until the late 80’s? Any Chanel alum should be able to correct me on that. Due to financial strain and declining enrollment, the Cleveland Diocese shut the school down. My high school had a steady rivalry with Chanel as not only was our schools very similar, but competed in the same conference for many years and always consisted of epic basketball games that would pack each other’s gyms. I’ve been to this school several times for basketball and football games and it was sad seeing the schools abandoned state. I even played my last basketball game in that gym when I was a kid. The school was just recently demolished to make wave for I believe a new building owned by Bedford City School District. If anyone looking for the location, the school was located on Rockside Road in Bedford and was directly across the street from Bedford High School.
Man, I always hate seeing computer equipment left to rot away, and those calculators too! All of them could be given to those less fortunate to use. You'd think for a Catholic school they'd be all about that giving to the needy. Still, awesome video as always! Great to see somewhere untouched for so long for a change
I went to this school and you walked right by my locker in this video. The irony is that I ran into my friend that had a locker right next to me today at his restaurant on a whim.
I find so strange how they left all the equipments behind... I'm sure here in Brazil it would never happen, the whole building would be already being used by the homeless and for sure the school would have taken all the stuff for not having to buy it all again (things are expensive)
Here in Chile there was a case of books about aboriginal languages being trashed and nobody cared about it. You wouldn't find an abandoned school quite so often here. I wonder where those books on this video ended up like.
Yup the nuns would live on the 3rd floor. Very nice school. Can’t believe how very clean it is. Wonder if the kids were getting sick from the asbestos? Great find love that you took us! Thanks!
@Rick Delair Sort of like the way mothers- to- be have to avoid the dire consequenses of a beer or a cigarette any more. No smoking in outdoor public spaces? Gimme a break. Similarly, how many kids on their bikes grew up without helmets?
They certainly left a lot of nice equipment behind that other kids and people in general could well benefit from. Like you, it upsets me to see such waste.
I’m totally blind so all through my schooling I had vision teachers and mobility teachers. When I was in the sixth grade my vision teacher had a chart it was a braille paper filled with squares, we would put a star in each square. The star is representing each thing that we did that day, at the end of each row I would get a treat usually it was Reese’s cups. When I got down to the bottom and filled up the whole chart with stars I got to do something very special, One day I finally got to the bottom of the whole chart. I got to decide the special thing I wanted to do, I wanted to talk into the public address System because I’m interested in audio recording equipment like microphones and things like that. So my vision teacher came up with an idea, that was doing the morning announcements. I took home a script to practice with my mom helped me, then on the big day I got to do it I even lead the class in the Pledge of Allegiance.
@@chuckchuck-ei1ss why do you think that your experience is the only right one? Clearly the video and the countless number of people commenting suggest otherwise.
Actually, I'd like to make a correction at 1:40 I could be entirely wrong for this system, but it looks exactly like the one my school had. That wasn't just a PA room. Those of you who remember "Channel 1 News" Schools would sign contracts with that company and every night, they would send out the signal for the next days broadcast and that system would record it and the school would schedule a time for it to play during class and it would turn on all the TV's in the classroom and play the broadcast. I remember those grey TVs as my school had the same ones 2:45 Sadly, Channel 1 News shut down in 2018
That TV at 2:48 is a Channel One TV, it was a 15 minute show broadcasted to schools all over the USA with news and current events. We had those in my middle and high school in the early to mid 90s. They stopped broadcasting it a few years ago
2:52 I literally had the SAME IDENTICAL CRT/Tube TV's on the SAME wall mount's in my classroom during the late 90's and it was also the EXACT TV that I first saw the news footage showing the WTC on 9/11/2001 during my first period math class. White Dome Speaker in the Gymnasian on the Ceiling was the same one my Gym had at my elementary school also.
Those are Channel One TV's. Your school may have stopped showing it when you were there, but that was what they were originally installed for. My school had them in 1991.
This is so cool seeing stuff like this. One of the high schools I went to was opened in 1959. It was renovated over 10 years ago after the school was damaged from a tornado that destroyed the entire 9th grade wing a few years before I went there. It’s a public school, not a catholic school though. I wonder how many years the building has since only the 9th grade wing is new, but the rest of the building is still the original from ‘59.
That's very similar to what my high school looked like--those long corridors with room after room. It's been completely renovated and expanded. I barely recognize it now.
Great vid! Love how you brought up Dexter Morgan! 😁 Should see my DVD box set.. looks like the blood slide case and the CD cases are clear with red CDs.
The school was closed in 2013, not 2009. The property was later purchased by the local school district, which plans to demolish the building. Strangely, the school's old website is still online: www.stpeterchanel.com/
@@ChesterPaulSgroi I went on there and they were talking about Christmas parties from last year. It was held on December 4, 2022 at 11:00 AM. To me at least, it seems more like they relocated than completely closed down. Don’t you think if they truly closed down, they would take the website offline? The party was held at another high school, though.
Skeleton was Mr Moose’s room, I believe. I think that science room was Mr Gotch’s class. I spent 3.5 hours a day in that room during my Senior year; all math.
Maybe because of the asbestos they were told to leave the stuff because it might be "contaminated" in the eyes of the law so they are forced to waste it
The school was closed by the Cleveland Catholic Diocese following a drastic, decreasing trend in enrollment. Permanently Closed in 2013. 3rd floor- When St. Peter Chanel HS was established, the Marists lived here. After the Marists moved, the 3rd floor was used primarily for retreats in the community rooms. There was a kitchen, a small chapel and bedrooms with bathrooms with amenities
You're absolutely right about when and why it closed, and about the usage of the third floor. I know a few families whose children attended there when it was still open. I'm not sure why they would leave so much equipment and furniture there that was in good condition. That part makes no sense to me.
heres a hugeee spa that was built and they never opened it, i heard they ran out of money. Its fenced off, and water front to the ocean! Ive been around the out side but i dont think anyone has gone inside. This place has been empty for longer then ive knew about it 14 years ago. I dont know if you travel far to make videos but this place is in nova scotia canada! I can direct you to the spot if you want to check it out !
Concerning the comments about the Computers (the PC's). They are from the 90's, IF NOT older! There is no way the most UP TO DATE Windows 10, could EVER run on them! And as to the Computers themselves, they are SO old that no one would be able to provide Computer Parts, let alone the Computer Service! Nice sentiment...but simply not doable!! Now, there are MANY Green Chalk Boards that could be taken down and used in other Schools!! Finally, the 3rd Floor was a Dormitory. Whether for Staff or Students, it is called a Dormitory!
Damn wish I could've watched this when it came out, but oh well. Still a great video tho! Also what is the music in the beginning. I doubt anyone would answer since I'm a year late but it's worth a try
I graduated high school in 2003. We had those old tv’s mounted up on the walls, and those old wooden speakers for the PA system. This school’s technology is frozen in time.
I see a lot of money in equipment. Also, would not be surprised is some squatters were bunked out in those living quarters. I've seen a few abandoned properties before but am too afraid to go inside.
Where is this school and what is the name of the school? I went to a catholic h.s. that closed. Surprisingly, I am a bit emotional seeing this video. It brings back alot of memories.
@@RyGuy0520 I've seen people in the comments saying that the police watch the place like a hawk and I'm guessing it's because the place still has power making it a great spot to party or for a runway/homeless person.
People are way too paranoid about asbestos. Usually just an excuse to get a new building. It's fire resistant and insulation. Sad such building go to decay.
dude the desks just waiting to be used The perfect size for tinkering on electronics and drawing and me here looking for an old abandoned one for my projects! I already got a free one but buying one new is expensive and them just throwing them away arrrg! Especially the solid ones with the level surfice and no chair atached and the book box perfect to put your tools and test equipment.
I always get emotional when watching your school videos. Im asking it again, can you maybe start a foundation that salvages all the usable stuff and give them away to schools that need them
A lot of Catholic/Religious based Schools would have teachers that live on campus, usually a form of priest or counselor, sometimes janitors and so on. Also religious visitors, so on and so forth.
depending on when the school was built many catholic schools teachers were priests and or nuns and they would live there i went to a catholic high school and the nuns lived there
Wow this was very great documenting of a place some of us older folks may recollect the "old school" being. Catholic schools are private and are generally run by nuns. Sisters being denounced of all personal belongings when they join, and becoming devout servants of the Lord, like Catholic priests they used to reside on church owned property. At least in the past Nuneries would often b next to, near or actually on the same property of their local church and base their work, organize and host other women from all over the world. Appologies for such long a comment or if someone else previously shed light on the subject. I was raised catholic and attended private Catholic school and while several generations after the construction of this school, mine was of the same era and ran by Sisters of the church who resided at the school. My school was not a boarding school but some are and the education is generally quite good due to the strict nature of these intense and sometimes brutal women. Who at least back in the day could b known for their violent punishment and why disobedient school aged girls would b sent to these establishments. Gosh i could keep goin cuz info is just popping up because had an aunt who joined an order of sisters who traveled the world establishing shelters for battered women and children on funds they raised. Again sorry so long and hope its of interest why the placed was abandoned in such an intentioal and thorough way
Were the computers removed and just the old CRT monitor s remaining? My old built in the50s elementary and middle schools had the asbestos removed in the 80s while I attended. Done during vacation periods of course
That is insane to leave a school abandoned like that. How much it costs to attend a private Catholic school I am completely surprised that they could not keep it up.
The third floor must have been for the teaching clergy. I don’t know if any of the Marist priests stayed there when I attended. I thought they left for a different building at the end of the day.
5:25 lol shout out Dexter Morgan yo that's my show! For the most part the school is actually in good condition I mean as far as the asbestos. Definitely a nice place to shoot a movie. Like squatters survival excellent narration and positive vibes.
My Elementary School is over 200 Hundred Years Old and still going strong, ( it's been renovated a couple of times) My Junior High is close to over 100 Years Old, it's still up and running, ( it too has been removated) my High School on the other hand is fairly New, it is still up and running, There's no reason why These Schools have to be abandoned.
SVHS was still being used the early 2000’s. That wasn’t shag carpeting, the upstairs were the living quarters for the nuns and the big room with a porch was a commons area. Not wearing a mask where there is exposed asbestos is really careless.
I am guessing by the look of the third floor. It probably housed the nuns, priest or anyone with administrative authority. Reminds me of my middle school as far as the classrooms looked.
I love these old schools , 😂 this okder than the school you must be young .the VHS are dinosaurs but bit has old us the school 🎒🏫 I'm almost 50 years old and I grew up in the 80s and I was born in the 70s
Also, in response to the "I've never seen a school with a Laserdisc player before" comment, my middle school actually had a Laserdisc player in the music classroom, of all places! We watched "The Pirates of Penzance" on it.
It Would Seem Like A Residential School. Which Made Me Feel As If I Was Back At South Park Elementary School Or Transitional School. During The 1970’s In 1975 To 1978.
Its a Catholic school so the nuns and priests typically lived on campus.
I know mine did.
Yeah that’s why that theirs floor had dorms and beds.. the nuns would have lived there! Great explore
The third floor I ment! 😂
Yup! exactly My kids went to elementary school at a catholic church.
My elementary/middle had a small convent, but the last nun was the principal until like 2000 and then she retired. The priest lived at the affiliated church about a mile away. But my high school was built in the 50s and had a church built in, but no one lived there. Actually, nor did the catholic school my grandmother went to in the 50s before that shut down.

1:47 The old television was left on, and an image was burned into it. That happened when a VHS tape was left on pause for hours, or days.
Yo I thought I was the only one who noticed that. The remote was on the chair too. Should of seen if he could push play.
@Rick Delair The old CRT (cathode ray tube) (picture tube )televisions, or even computer monitors contained phosphorus which would illuminate when electrons hit it. The burn in was when the screen was on for hours, and that image was burned into the glass by the phosphorus,. That;s why old computers had screen savers, and it was wise to always change the channel on picture tube televisions back then.

no, it's just still running, look closer.
Or weeks, or months, or years, or decades
It's such a shame all that expensive equipment will go to waste 😧
How do we know they plan to throw it all away? Could be temprarily placed there. If they do throw it away maybe it's because it's contaminated with asbestos dust. I don't know, it's difficult to make assumptions either way.

You're absolutely right about when and why it closed, and about the usage of the third floor. I know a few families whose children attended there when it was still open. I'm not sure why they would leave so much equipment and furniture there that was in good condition. That part makes no sense to me.
With the beds sometimes schools let students stay if they live far away they can “dorm” there
If it is a catholic school, then these rooms were probably for the nuns that taught there.
Great video. Sad so much wasted equipment.
They was a huge fire in 2007 and built back up in 2009
i enjoyed this one. The place was pretty darn clean without being destroyed by others.
Awesome video blessings
This plant didnt make it😂 i love the desk and chairs great colours very 60s style
10 yrs and still so clean
Closed 2013. Freshman year my locker was to the left of those water fountains, shown in the beginning.
heres a hugeee spa that was built and they never opened it, i heard they ran out of money. Its fenced off, and water front to the ocean! Ive been around the out side but i dont think anyone has gone inside. This place has been empty for longer then ive knew about it 14 years ago. I dont know if you travel far to make videos but this place is in nova scotia canada! I can direct you to the spot if you want to check it out !
“Shoutout Dexter Morgan” that’s my exact thought when you touched the slides lol
Concerning the comments about the Computers (the PC's). They are from the 90's, IF NOT older! There is no way the most UP TO DATE Windows 10, could EVER run on them!
And as to the Computers themselves, they are SO old that no one would be able to provide Computer Parts, let alone the Computer Service!
Nice sentiment...but simply not doable!!
Now, there are MANY Green Chalk Boards that could be taken down and used in other Schools!!
Finally, the 3rd Floor was a Dormitory. Whether for Staff or Students, it is called a Dormitory!
Damn wish I could've watched this when it came out, but oh well. Still a great video tho! Also what is the music in the beginning. I doubt anyone would answer since I'm a year late but it's worth a try
The name of the song at the beginning of this video is Calm by Ben Dransfield.
I graduated high school in 2003. We had those old tv’s mounted up on the walls, and those old wooden speakers for the PA system. This school’s technology is frozen in time.
I see a lot of money in equipment. Also, would not be surprised is some squatters were bunked out in those living quarters. I've seen a few abandoned properties before but am too afraid to go inside.
Where is this school and what is the name of the school? I went to a catholic h.s. that closed. Surprisingly, I am a bit emotional seeing this video. It brings back alot of memories.
It's in Bedford ohio not saying the name due to the fact that some people break in these places to vandalise
@@RyGuy0520 I've seen people in the comments saying that the police watch the place like a hawk and I'm guessing it's because the place still has power making it a great spot to party or for a runway/homeless person.

St. Peter Chanel High School in Bedford, Ohio.
@@RyGuy0520 let em go to at Peter Chanel high. It was demolished
People are way too paranoid about asbestos. Usually just an excuse to get a new building. It's fire resistant and insulation. Sad such building go to decay.
For it being closed in 2009 the building looks really good.
No it closed in 2013
dude the desks just waiting to be used The perfect size for tinkering on electronics and drawing and me here looking for an old abandoned one for my projects! I already got a free one but buying one new is expensive and them just throwing them away arrrg! Especially the solid ones with the level surfice and no chair atached and the book box perfect to put your tools and test equipment.
Literally that place is a DIY person's warehouse
Fixtures, desks, microscopes all great for DIY and them just wasting it
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing.
I always get emotional when watching your school videos. Im asking it again, can you maybe start a foundation that salvages all the usable stuff and give them away to schools that need them
Whoa that blessed water.
The equipment in the science lab would be useful in my classroom today. It's a shame there is so much waste.
A lot of Catholic/Religious based Schools would have teachers that live on campus, usually a form of priest or counselor, sometimes janitors and so on. Also religious visitors, so on and so forth.
depending on when the school was built many catholic schools teachers were priests and or nuns and they would live there i went to a catholic high school and the nuns lived there
Wow this was very great documenting of a place some of us older folks may recollect the "old school" being. Catholic schools are private and are generally run by nuns. Sisters being denounced of all personal belongings when they join, and becoming devout servants of the Lord, like Catholic priests they used to reside on church owned property. At least in the past Nuneries would often b next to, near or actually on the same property of their local church and base their work, organize and host other women from all over the world. Appologies for such long a comment or if someone else previously shed light on the subject. I was raised catholic and attended private Catholic school and while several generations after the construction of this school, mine was of the same era and ran by Sisters of the church who resided at the school. My school was not a boarding school but some are and the education is generally quite good due to the strict nature of these intense and sometimes brutal women. Who at least back in the day could b known for their violent punishment and why disobedient school aged girls would b sent to these establishments. Gosh i could keep goin cuz info is just popping up because had an aunt who joined an order of sisters who traveled the world establishing shelters for battered women and children on funds they raised. Again sorry so long and hope its of interest why the placed was abandoned in such an intentioal and thorough way
It's crazy that people just leave behind stuff that can be sold or given away good video
10:31That stancato's box in the gym tells me this is in the Cleveland area!
Were the computers removed and just the old CRT monitor s remaining? My old built in the50s elementary and middle schools had the asbestos removed in the 80s while I attended. Done during vacation periods of course
Nice video,,, Thank You !
That is insane to leave a school abandoned like that. How much it costs to attend a private Catholic school I am completely surprised that they could not keep it up.
It cost my bro $2000 and for me $1000
The third floor must have been for the teaching clergy. I don’t know if any of the Marist priests stayed there when I attended. I thought they left for a different building at the end of the day.
5:25 lol shout out Dexter Morgan yo that's my show! For the most part the school is actually in good condition I mean as far as the asbestos. Definitely a nice place to shoot a movie. Like squatters survival excellent narration and positive vibes.
My Elementary School is over 200 Hundred Years Old and still going strong, ( it's been renovated a couple of times) My Junior High is close to over 100 Years Old, it's still up and running, ( it too has been removated) my High School on the other hand is fairly New, it is still up and running, There's no reason why These Schools have to be abandoned.
SVHS was still being used the early 2000’s. That wasn’t shag carpeting, the upstairs were the living quarters for the nuns and the big room with a porch was a commons area. Not wearing a mask where there is exposed asbestos is really careless.
I remember those types of computers at my school
According to an online article this school closed in 2013 due to decreased enrollment.
Yeah when my brother stared the year after it opened they was 1003 and when I started 200
I teach at school that still has asbestos and still used for pre-K - 8
Report them
I am guessing by the look of the third floor. It probably housed the nuns, priest or anyone with administrative authority. Reminds me of my middle school as far as the classrooms looked.
Yeah it was
I remember VHS tape. I think when my mom went to the college for film and they had these types of cameras. Dang, I was young, but I kind of remember.
Buen vídeo, desde Chile.
I love these old schools , 😂 this okder than the school you must be young .the VHS are dinosaurs but bit has old us the school 🎒🏫 I'm almost 50 years old and I grew up in the 80s and I was born in the 70s
My school looks like this now 😥
I see the CRT monitor "graveyard" at 3:46 and I just start salivating, lol. I would...take so many of those.
Also, in response to the "I've never seen a school with a Laserdisc player before" comment, my middle school actually had a Laserdisc player in the music classroom, of all places! We watched "The Pirates of Penzance" on it.
My scool was build in 1925
Can you grab the video camera?
Incredibly clean for 10 years abandoned.
It closed in 20013
I am surprised there were not any homeless people living there with working electricity
It looks good for a school that closed over a decade ago
Not only looks good, but unbroken and no graffiti. That kind of tells you where that school WASN'T located.
School closed in 2013, I believe the Russo brothers filmed a movie at the school before it met the wrecking ball last summer
Asbestos!! Get a Mask man!!
I find it hard to believe that it had been abandoned for 10 years at the time of that video.
The school closed in 2013 due to low enrollment
@@Believeland-lx9uk yeah it did
Boa noite gosto muito do seu vídeo super Like
It Would Seem Like A Residential School.
Which Made Me Feel As
If I Was Back At South
Park Elementary School Or
Transitional School.
During The 1970’s
In 1975 To 1978.
