Every school has areas students walk past every day without giving them a second thought. What if some of the most interesting places at Delta High School are the ones students might not know?
Beyond the school classrooms and hallways there are rooms with unique purposes and stories that need to be shared. In this video, we explore many unknown rooms to discover what is inside, what they are used for, and what makes them 10 times better than any other rooms.
Room No. 1: Mr. Detweiler’s Storage Room:
The most interesting room on the tour is Mr.Detweiler’s storage room. Behind his projector, a mega-wide, hidden space that many students may not even know is there. From historic items to everyday supplies this storage room is filled with many cool discoveries. What may seem like a normal room is a collection of Delta history and the materials that have helped this high school develop.
At this time period, all these artifacts still might be there for your future kids!
Room No. 2: The Dark Room:
The next stop on the tour is known as the dark room because it was used as a photo development room decades ago when photography was a class. Students would develop their camera film in a chemical solution in the dark room. Now, it is one of the most restricted spaces in Delta High School. Although it is not seen by many people, the dark room plays an important role in keeping the school running every single day.
Room No. 3: Ag Shop Loft Secret Room:
The next fascinating stop on this tour is Mr. Shrack’s agricultural loft. Very few people have the opportunity to explore this space, so consider yourself lucky if you do. To reach it, you have to climb a steep flight of stairs. Once you turn the corner to the left you will see a dark room filled with past projects. It is so dark a flashlight is needed to see what is all inside. As you go deeper into the secret room you wonder what mysterious things or visitors are waiting for you in the dark.
Room No. 4: The IT/ Storage room:
Another stop on the tour takes us to a room near the library. It is a unique circular classroom that has had many purposes over the years. It once was a classroom where Mr.Cleland taught, an IT room, an ISS room, and a spot for student council supplies.
What’s inside it now?
Room No. 5: The Theater Prop Room:
The final important stop on the tour is a large space that used to be the athletic department offices but is now used for theater. What do they use it for?
That brings us to the end of the tour! You’ve heard plenty of stories about the secret rooms explored today, but there are dozens more undiscovered in the historic halls of Delta High School.
