    Went to Lynch for a school mission trip and we cleaned around this building, always wondered what the inside was like

    My Dad and his sisters and brothers went to this high school, they were all born and raised in Lynch back in the 30”s and 40”s. It used to be a thriving coal town, my grandfather worked in the mine, heard many great stories from my Dad about growing up in Lynch.

    Jerry Smith - I grew up in Lynch from 1947 to 1965 the year I graduated. I was in the largest graduation class with 88 students graduating. It's truly heart breaking to see this beautiful building going to ruin with so many fond memories from my youth. I lived in Gap Branch across the bridge over the creek. So sad.

    You must know that you have what we called when I was growing up there, the little school and the big school. Elementary and High schools.

    Me and my old grade school friend went in there about 10 or 11 years ago. We were only about 10 years old. We didn't last 5 minutes before running out and back to his house down the street.

    We played basketball in the Lynch Recreational League in the early 80s even after the school closed. The city kept the gym open for us. There were 4 Class A state Football championship teams from this school in the 60s . This was a top rated school in its hay day. This is a very dangerous building to go into now and you should stay out of it. The ceiling and walls are constantly falling .

    • @johngluck6938
      @johngluck6938 5 років тому

      I grew up on this street. The school was open from 1924 to 1981. It was built by the US Steel Coal Company . i would estimate it at around 1200 . My mom graduated from there in 1967.
