Over the years, a carousel of teachers has been hired and retired. Students are left with the question, “Where did those teachers go?” The truth is strange, to say the least.

In Viking Hall, a small crack in the wall reveals a labyrinth of hidden lounges where retired teachers reside, full of nice couches, pool tables, TVS, and of course, bookshelves. Late night security footage shows old teachers and ghosts of teachers alike sneaking down into the cafeteria for a late-night snack.

The living space currently houses around 15 teachers, but this is an estimate, as students and current teachers are not allowed in the area. Overall, the “Hole in the Wall,” as local retirees refer to it, offers a sense of unity for those who cannot bring themselves to leave such a big part of their life behind.

Rumor has it that this community was only recently established by a retiree who continues to substitute teach so that he can “continue to visit his friends in the history hallway.”

“When I retired, I wanted to be close to my old pals and good friends,” the retiree said. “So, what better way than to continue to live right here at the school?”

Additionally, the ghost of a teacher from the early twentieth century was able to communicate from the beyond through flashing of light and Morris code in the form of footsteps in the hallways. She loves the updated retirement home.

“It gives us a chance to see our friends and participate in school activities behind the scenes,” she said. “I really appreciate the time and money spent on redesigning this deteriorating wall.”
