    My Aunt and Uncle went to school there with Elvis.
    They both have yearbooks signed by him and programs where they played in band together. To my aunt he said to a very cute girl. To my uncle he said to a great guitarist. I have pictures of both.

    Wow so much in the school Is still original. What a beauty. Down in the locker room looks like it hasn't been touched since Elvis time. The line down the outside wall is definitely where that picture was taken. So glad it was like that- Ment to be. Thanks Spaguy n Trey 👍 🙏 enjoyed that

    Spa Guy, it is wonderful the school memorizes ELVIS, and I can see him at the school. I can see him in the auditorium, on the stage or in the audience l. I can see him in the boy's restroom, and his friend, "Red," coming to his rescue. It is wonderful the school can be toured after school hours. The school looks kept up and nice, and almost a hundred years old. ❤️IN MEMORY OF ELVIS AARON PRESLEY❤️

    I know I’ve said this before but I can imagine Elvis loving your videos and appreciating “the walk through memory lane”. Seeing his old school. That auditorium doesn’t look much different than the footage from the documentary done back in the 80s. I hope they get the funding for the improvements they need. Great job!

    • @kevinhodge1221
      @kevinhodge1221 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think it’s a middle school. But any use looks very expensive to repair. Just roof alone I’d expensive. It depends on what city council decides on what happens to a structure. Kennedy high school in Taylor Michigan will be demolished and replaced with a brand new high school. The one used now will be junior high school. Lorainohio has all modern public Schools.

    • @kevinhodge1221
      @kevinhodge1221 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      But he says it’s a junior high school now. Plus it is a very old school, so I’m sure that the city council will look at every angle and in some cases the school districts around here have just built new schools. It depends that one is 100 years old, so it might be near impossible to update itto modern standards

I wonder if Elvis would appreciate what you and Mr. Trey have done in preserving his history or think it a bit much Mr. Spa Guy? Absolutely correct on the FAKE movie !!

    Love the Elvis’s room, it is going to be amazing when all put together and we will definitely tour when we come to Memphis.
    I have a question: how do we fans know when Elvis’s room is complete that we will be able to tour ?
    We thank you Spa Guy ,Trey and the very nice,friendly and great tour guide Principal Mr.Thomas.

I took all of it with a grain of salt never know what Was accurate. Then I found you and have learned so much that I know is true because you have the evidence. So thanks for all you do for us Elvis fans. Now the movie I thoroughly enjoyed it I wasn't going for a history lesson just to be entertained. I get the only true history that is factual from you and trey. Thanks again

      He was in the JR ROTC. He joined while still in high school.. The U.S. Army Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) is one of the largest character development and citizenship programs for youth in the world. The National Defense Act of 1916 established organized JROTC programs at public and private educational institutions.

    I once had a dream about a high school, but it wasn’t a high school that I actually went to in Michigan. This particular high school that Elvis went to seems like it might’ve been a dream. But looks like this school may be beyond repair? There is a high school in Wyandotte Michigan that is about the same age as the school but I don’t know what condition that one is it it will be very hard to modernize the school. Maybe just a historic structure and probably have to build a new high school. Actually James Dean high school in Indiana has been torn down.
