This is the largest abandoned
This is the largest abandoned school in New England, and I actually attended it as a student from grades 6 through 8. It was constructed in 1915 and abandoned in 2009 with nearly everything left behind. In 2013 I directed my first full length documentary, My Old School, which traced the history of the building through interviews and footage inside. With it now being the 10 year anniversary of the documentary My Old School, and with the school still abandoned, I thought it would be a good time to revisit it one more time to see what’s changed and learn about what the future has in store for it.

You’re looking at the largest abandoned school in New England, with about 212,000 square feet of classrooms, hallways, gyms, offices, and a giant auditorium. It was constructed in 1915 and abandoned in 2009 - the doors being locked and nearly everything left inside the way it was on the last day of school. This place is very special to me for a few reasons.
First - I actually attended middle school here from grades 6 through 8. Yup, there’s me sitting in the auditorium on picture day each year with the hottest early 2000s fashion. Shout out to my mom for sending me these photos.
Second, I have a lot of great memories here, with the top one being my introduction into video production. This classroom is where I learned to edit my first video, and I still remember what it was about - I was told to stick with a theme that could be found throughout the whole building, so I decided to document every toilet in the school - genius at work right there.
It makes me wonder though, if I wasn’t handed that camera and shown iMovie in this classroom, would I have found my love for filmmaking and continued to make videos all through middle and high school? Would I still have made a dummy with my friends and thrown him off my parents’ staircase? Would I have still eventually got a frat house to choreograph and lip synch a justin bieber music video with me? Sorry, existential and off topic, but it brings me to my final point.
This school was the subject of my first full length documentary, My Old School, in 2013. That documentary traced the full history of this building. We interviewed former faculty, students and staff - and showed why this was much more than just an abandoned building - it was a place of memories, laughter, heartbreak - all those big emotions you feel growing up.
That documentary also was the start of my passion for urban exploration - it was the first time I really experienced the beauty of an abandoned place stuck in time. Working on this documentary was like all the creative pieces falling into place for me - and I knew there were more stories to tell beyond this building. The years that followed the documentary led to my current project, Abandoned from Above.
Guys what I’m saying is everything started with my old school.
When I walk through other abandoned places, it takes me right back to the first time walking through the school filming the documentary in 2013.
The documentary had a big premiere in front of a live audience. Soon after, In 2014, it was picked up by Rhode Island PBS to be broadcast as part of their annual fundraiser, where I was invited live on-air to discuss the film with my close friend and executive producer Scott.
So why am I telling you all of this?
Well, with it now being the 10 year anniversary of the documentary My Old School, and with the school still being abandoned, I thought it would be a good time to revisit the it one more time to see what’s changed and learn about what the future has in store for it.
