"...They accidentally blew out some windows in the school..."

Isn't the school about 80% window? On the exterior, anyways, it seems like all window, with a bit of huge I-beam thrown into the mix.

We used to use those I-beams to gain entrance to the interior when we forgot our homework. I even remember my dad driving me to the school when I neglected to bring home an assignment in about 1986. His words still reverbrate in my ears: "Get to climbing".

I am a Hillsdale Knight, class of 87.

I think it's not as much open glass as in '87. Some of the glass has been consistently replaced with some kind of paneling. There was a renovation in 2000 or so, and I recall seeing lots of construction then. On the interior courtyards it's still pretty open.

It's a nice Modernist design, very durable and with good human qualities. As far as the school goes, I think it's adapted well to the nonsense we now know as public education. Cut through the PC rhetoric and you can see the division of the school into smaller units ("SLC") makes it easier to know and be known by the staff.
