The Real Rydell

Yesterday, your’s truly and G2.net contributor Brian took a drive over to Excelsior High School, in Norwalk, Ca in hopes to get some new shots of our beloved Rydell High. Unfortunately the school was closed but we were able to get a few perimeter shots to share with you all!

It is our goal to give the Admins at the school a call and see if we can schedule a day that we can actually go to the school and do some real exploring. But, for the time being…here is a quick shot of the front of the school. Video to follow 🙂
