...Thanks for posting this montage...but from a former student of that school (and remember my family going to High School there) it is almost painful to see that building in that condition.. .. .. .
I wish I'd have known the Demo was planned.... I'd have liked to have walked (or ran) those halls ... just one more time.
No, this building was the former Russellville Junior High School and was demolished around 1995. It sat a few blocks from downtown and the only thing remaining is the football field.
I attended Russellville School System grades 1st through 12th, graduating in 1979. I'll always remember the good times our class had at RJHS.. The hardwood floors were so pretty. I have many good memories from my attendance there. The cafeteria was in the basement & I had piano lessons located in a basement room. We played kickball during recess, It's a shame the building was demolished. The video brought back many good memories. Sincerely, a former student.
OUCH!

That sign, "BUSES ONLY...", I vividly remember reading with butterflies in my stomach on my first day.
What is the heart-wrending music in the background?
