Side Notes
There have been rumors of a sprawling tunnel network system in which many rooms within the school & some smaller, nearby buildings are all connected. These tunnels were originally meant for staff to have easy access to power lines, telephone lines, & pipework. However, students used to sneak into the tunnels & have been sealed up since then.
Known Entrances include:
- AG Room

- Gym Stage
