ABANDONED HIGH SCHOOL We Found Blood And Had To Hide | Everything is LEFT INSIDE

- Warren Harding High School is a public high school in Bridgeport, Connecticut, that opened its doors to students on September 9, 1925, after its cornerstone was laid on May 10, 1924. The school was named in honor of Warren G. Harding, the 29th President of the United States, who passed away shortly before its construction. Harding, a member of the Republican Party, was one of the most beloved sitting U.S. presidents, serving from 1921 until his death in 1923.
Designed by C. Wellington Walker, the original school featured elegant Georgian style architecture and striking Greek columns. The school was in operation for 93 years, producing a few NBA basketball players despite ranking in the bottom 50% of all schools in Connecticut for overall test scores.
In 2018, a new school was built on a former General Electric factory site at a cost of $107 million. The four-story, 207,000 square feet (19,200 m2) structure was equipped with top-of-the-line security features such as bulletproof glass and 130 security cameras. This new school was designed to provide a superior learning environment and enhanced safety measures to the students attending Harding High School in hopes of imroving its rank.
The old school has now been left abandoned with no future plans as of 2023, it now sits as a timecapsule and a relic of the past for all who attended.
As I explored the place I found specimens and something disturbing on the floor.

im ur avid fan from philippines ur intro music is my ringing tone in my phone and i love it so much staysafe idol steve godbless
I attended Harding early 2000's. I wish you went down in the elevator near the lunchroom. That basement area is like a time capsule. I went once, and found old photos, items, and other cool things from throughout Hardings history.
The food was great. The variety was top tier for a highschool.
I was on the football team, and the wrestling team during my time, but I was also pretty mischievous. Every seat in the auditorium has my name on it.
This video brings back a lot of memories. Thanks
Thanks for the info!
My last year there was in 2001
Lunches was def top tier 🔥🔥 sandwich line was always a go
Shoutout miss brooks
My last year there was 1993 . Good times
I went to Harding from 94-98 to attend the amazing health careers magnet program. Our school was next to the city’s hospital and across from another health facility. The teachers were educated and able to provide to a diverse student body. Many had their masters degrees or above. The students came from all walks of life. Just because we were from inner city neighborhoods doesn’t mean we were the worst. We were amazing!!!! So many great memories and amazing people!!! ❤❤❤❤ to Harding. I hope they rebuild it and use its beautiful design for good!! It’s a real estate heaven for either commercial or living. The stage and auditorium were majestic. The celebration of a mix of cultures were always brewing!!! Love and light to that space!!
I was in the program as well... Cool Nerds❤
Im running for mayor in 2027! I graduated from Harding in 2012. Im asharanae and my niche is
Popstar mayor.
If you're from Bridgeport, there is no way you can be shocked at the way they left this school and left so much behind. The circus may have left Bridgeport long ago but, the clowns were left behind to run the city. This is just such a Bridgeport thing to do. They never get it right. I for one am not shocked one bit.
You said you know it sad man a once beautiful city very beautiful with proud people
I do live in Bpt I went to central which is still open! Harding was crazy!
Aww, this is so sad to see.....the memories.......smh
I agree. Keep electing crooked people to office!😂
Class of 2010 here. Watching this brought back so many memories. I remember they let the alumni walk through the halls one last time and I broke down in tears. I remembered ever moment every friend I made. Miss it so much wish I could go back.
If you ever wish to go back and explore I would be more than happy to show you extra stuff within the school. Not sure if you hit or saw all the rooms
Big Facts! Im class 2010 As well. I miss those days. I would go back and do it all again. No mistake.
I live in that town. My parents went to that school. I'm so annoyed that all that stuff was left behind. Especially the electronics trophies desks and books!!! The Identification cards was a bit much for me! I can't wait to show my father this video. He's gonna feel a way!
Thanks for doing this. It was both nostalgic but disappointing to see how my high school was left when they decided to rebuild it. So much of the history could have been preserved and taken to the new building. I also think that for a city that's always crying about money for its schools, they sure left a lot of supplies that could have either been auctioned or donated. Especially the books! That library was still quite full. Perhaps alumni could have supported that initiative with proper planning and notice. I know many of them, including myself, would have.
Thats my high school! I graduated 2003 and its just weird to watch it being so abandon. Looking at the cafeteria and the halls just brings back memories. Harding Pride/ Harding Presidents!!!! 🙏🏼
Period!!!! Yessss
I like when y’all explore in groups and stay together like this. Makes me feel better for y’all’s safety.
I wish the Bridgeport Historical Society would preserve some of this stuff before it gets destroyed.
The problem is that nobody with a conscience resides in BPT anymore.
This was my high school in the late 90’s. I remember every nook and cranny. Blood is probably left over from a fight, there were fights almost daily at that school. Bridgeport Hospital owns the building now, they’ve got plans for turning it into a nursing school.
I atended Harding High in the early 90’s. I had four great years at that school. It’s so sad to see it abandoned like that!😢
I graduated Harding high school in 2003 . You did go by the principal office right in the main office . I have so many memories here so cool you were able to go in .
I'm class of 2004, I was like "you're right there, just turn right, that's his office!" LOL
I'm class of 2008
I went there all 4 years class of 2012 the nostalgia this video gave me cannot be underestimated 😢how time flies
Having studied chemistry and worked at several chemical plants, ASTONISHED that that those chemicals and pre/post dissection studies have been left like that. Disgusted actually that the people responsible for all that just left it. Not fkn cool at all. Glad you all stayed safe though. Careful gents.
Warren Harding High Alumni right here! Class of 1996!
The memories! I would have never thought that they just left all those things behind. The new school is suppose to be really beautiful.
It is beautiful I finish my last year in the new harding
I didn't go to Harding, but I grew up in Bridgeport, and I knew of it. I went to Bullard-Havens. It really is sad to see how much stuff was left behind. :'( As you said in the video, "Such a waste!" Some of those former students would probably love to have their pictures or artwork back. Awesome video. I'm glad I stumbled across it.
Went to Tech, too. Walked (or drove from middle of Junior year, on...) past Harding every morning on my way to BHT. All the kids in my East End neighborhood who didn't got to Prep or ND went to Harding. Kind of upsetting to see everything they left behind. Typical city government. Nothing from the old school goes to the new school. Everything has to be brand new. Thousands and thousands of dollars worth of stuff left to be crushed and piled in a landfill somewhere when this building comes down or gets repurposed.
@@RichZFishes You're right. It is incredibly WASTEful. We the Taxpayers have the ability to vote accordingly... yet many don't. :(
i go to bullard now lol
My uncle was the janitor there for many many years, they actually did the butterfly garden if that what you want to call it in honor of him. He found a baby in the dumpster that actually belonged to one of the students. My uncles name was Billy or William
Baby? What?
Great video! More modern than my school days. 1972 graduate.
I was opposite hall monitor, I was a detention room seat warmer.
I graduated class of 2014 and to see how much this school has changed 😢 I wish I could go back, thank you for this seeing it brings back so many memories
Wow! So nostalgic. You brought me way back. Class of 2010! This video just refresh my memory. Thanks for sharing! Bridgeport strong 🙏🏽
That library was nice .I always love the woodwork. History IS SO FASCINATING
That’s so cool! I drive passed this school almost everyday! I was supposed to Harding but ended up moving out of the district. The new school is beautiful though. Really cool to know Josh was here too! ❤
It's so cool to see you guys all collaborating together. I watch your individual channels too. Watching from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
I'm from Bridgeport Ct. I went to this school. Sad to see what it has become. Shame on you Bridgeport
I graduated in 2018, my class being the last class to be part of that building. So much memories. It’s crazy to me to see how destroyed it is in just 5 years. I pass it all the time and miss it sometimes.
I was the their when it closed I was a sophomore and the school is so different from the day I went in nothing was destroyed only things scattered
What happened to this school explain please
@@Chitchats_Debates_Opinions this school was the school all the bad kids went to and good kids that never got accepted in to the other schools and it was a fight zone for years I was a sophomore when they closed I down
So nostalgic! I remember these days. I wished you would've captured the daycare. It was next to cafeteria. Thank you for capturing some great footage of my old high school!
I grew up 3 blocks from Harding High School but went to high school across town because Harding was really bad in the 1980s. It was really dangerous back then
I love your videos! All of those chemicals and specimens left behind seems like it would be a biohazard! I can’t believe the school is full of things left behind, it’s so said to see schools this way , tragic really :/
Class of 99! This is beyond sad. Alot of memories. There was a health careers magnet in the school. And club VICA vocational industrial clubs of America... Hence the trophy. Students competed. Students were also able to become certified in CNA AND OR EMT. Despite the environment there were really great things that went in the school.
Why would they leave all these chemicals and specimens behind like that? I blame the Government and The Board of Education for not cleaning up before they closed the doors! Such negligence and sadness to see this left behind...I went to this school back in the 1960"s, Feel so disturbed and sad to see this, even though it's going to be torn down, probably in another 10 yrs....Such carelessness!!! 😡
I attended Harding and graduated in 1972.
It had big bleachers flanking the field and they were packed for the annual Thanksgiving day football game against rival Central HS across town.
I performed on the stage twice in annual school plays.
the murals in the library should be saved and all archival materials should have been removed and catalogued at time of closure.
Thanks to the camera team. A lot of memories .
The science labs were state of the art back then. The school was excellent for an inner city school. I think I got a great education there.
I went in 72 73
Was Mr. Shapiro the principal during those years that you attended?
KNOW I AM WITH YOU ON YOUR JOURNEY..YOUR ARE AN AWESOME EXPLORER..THANK YOU FOR TAKING US ALL OVER THE WORLD and so Young..AMAZING..Always in my thoughts and Prayers..Stay Safe..
Great video Steve glad it finally worked and u sorted it out, thanks for sharing 👍🤘💖
This is a cool place to explore, very interesting chemistry class , a huge art class with tall windows and the library is very beautiful love the architecture, sad to see everything got abandoned and left behind specially all the historical books, I would feel creepy to visit a place like this , it big and dark, glad you are all together, thank you for sharing it’s very interesting indeed.
Was a very interesting video, usually at schools they don't tend to leave things behind, they must of been in a rush, loved the video...
Graduated from Harding in 2007 and it was nostalgic to see the rooms, specially the art class. Spent most of my time in that big one. Awesome job y'all 🤙
Wow! This is sad 😔 😢 look at my school. I graduated 2003 and this is unbelievable that they left everything behind and really abandoned the school like that. Always ND complaining we don't have money, but yet they spent so much on the new school and abandoned everything in the old school. What a waste!
It's such a beautiful school, especially the library. My school library was like 4 rows of shelves in the middle of the room, had 1 desk, which was joined with the librarian's desk, and no computers whatsoever. Was also locked half the time. But we would still go there sometimes when it was unlocked, just to escape the brain-melting noise of the corridors and just walk between the shelves for an entire recess.
Thanks for keeping me informed on your up coming adventures
Keep up the awesome work buddy!
Thank you for posting that video. I graduated that school in 1995 and it is so sad to see that it went downhill and eventually abandoned. Great memories there.
You're very welcome
It’s nice to see all’s you guys exploring again with devin and Josh also Chris again ❤️❤️
Amazing Explore Such A Large School Great To See the Beautiful Architecture, Classrooms Very Little Damage, Really Enjoyed The Video Thank You Steve, God Bless, Safe Travels
Sad yet interesting! Thanks for another cool video 🙂
Arkansas here. My mom is a huge fan! Great explore Steve!
Wow what a great video Steve the library is beautiful epic explore as well and Greetings from United Kingdom 🇬🇧
Wow! Can't believe so much valuable stuff was just left thee. That microscope probably still works, and is worth several hundred dollars. All those books could've been donated to the library system, or sent out to other schools. Kind of reminds me of when everyone abandoned communities after Chernobyl. Everything was just left as it was, and still is, to this day. Very surreal. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Steve ,nice job, you did your homework please be careful picking up things like old chemicals etc. Again, I enjoyed the video stay safe 👍 AZ
This is my old high school! Class 2013 & yes we had alpha smarts! It’s sad to see this school like this ! The real “East side high “ 🥺🫶🏼 never forgotten !
Same class of 2013 crazy the school looks like this now
This was awesome, the abandoned school videos are my favorite 🥰
Wow we had a very big school but just a regular cafeteria, no coffee shop or any other fun foods. The “calculator” is a machine that connected to the other machines so all students could have the same questions but answer on the machine. (Hope that makes sense)
From Tennessee love your channel 🥰
That is awesome!
Interesting video , hopefully this video sheds some light to Bridgeports health dept and other divisions to save this building..
Thank you for posting..
That’s so sad to see how the school looks! I attended this a couple years ago and graduated in the new high school (down the street) in 2019.
I'm so amazed and fascinated with all your adventures videos..I'm trying to catch up all your videos!😆👏. Anyway, I'm from New Zealand!!
Hey Steve! I see Dark Explorations!! Very cool. You guys together is the best! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
What up Steve, I'm from Houston, Texas.. I enjoy watching your videos
Awesome video. Watching from Greenville, SC
Thanks so much for sharing. What a shame so much equipment and such a large facility should go to waste! Really enjoy your videos.
Hopefully to all student studied this abandoned school are all taken professional and real smarter
I't is a chemist school,? Steve
I attended in the early 2000’s. Awesome video! Can’t believe they left it as is.
Thanks for showcasing Harding H.S. I worked in the kitchen for 3 years until the school closed. We had 3 spots for the meals: hot spot, deli and regular meals. The food was definitely different then. We also had snack bar for cookies, juice, ice cream and hot wings for the students to purchase. Also a teachers side which offered hot meals or salads. I retired in 2018
That is awesome!
Great explore.
Im from VA USA I have been looking at your videos for a long time keep up the good work you do
Awesome vid. I live in the city and its crazy how the schools been abandoned or 5 years and the city didn't clean it up
Wow it is so sad to see this beautiful building in that condition 😮… I graduated from there in 1998. The fact that there are so many things in the building. Things that I think could be donated to non profit programs. Sad 😞 I hope the right people see this video and eventually try to do something with at least some things in the school. Harding High School Class of this 1998 ❤
New fan! Thought you would meet up with the person doing the scrapping 😂
Great video !!!!!!! Brought back memories
That's crazy they left all that stuff behind. Cool video!
i love all your video stevekeep safe always
Your the popular explorer,
Thanks to a beautiful and nice place adventures.☺️👍🏼❤️🙏🏼
So nice of you
Great explore Steve. Always bugs me to see schools get abandoned and trashed. No Cafe in my old high-school. Food was ok, gravy turned jellylike after a day. All that stuff left is a real waste.
Thanks steve for sharing 😌 take good care always 🙌God bless🙏
My kid's school had a coffee shop. The kids from the ED section (kids with high functioning autism) would make all the food for it. It also taught the all the kids from the school how to wait on tables and to make change for customers.
Ohio here. Steve this is amazing, thanks for all you do. One day I will explore with you.
Any time!
Let me know when and I'll be there.
Awesome video thanks
I went to Harding High School and the only scary thing was our assistant principal Mrs.Costa 😂
This is crazy because I lived on the street in front of that school for 20+ years. IT WAS A NIGHTMARE! The police would block off the streets at dismissal for a good half hour and the students that flooded the streets were so wild, causing havoc and chaos every day, often fighting, selling drugs and damaging cars on the daily. The neighborhood itself is not safe though since the school closed, it made living there just slightly more tolerable. Still tho, if you can avoid living in this area, do so AT ALL COSTS
The sunsets here were nice tho lol I did capture some nice photos of the school during those times
That was a really good explore 👍😎 very cool 😎👍
The library is really cool! It looks so relaxing to study in.
Those Alphasmarts unlocked memories of middle school I'd totally forgotten about. It was an alternative for writing in class for students who had ADD if I recall correctly.
West Virginia here... Just me but i am glad who ever was there left before you found them. I really don't want you or your crew hurt. Enjoyed the video. Thank you
Well said
Good job Steve great video
Love watching your videos.. pretty awesome youll be coming here in canada ..
Awesome video steve
Thanks Steve for the excellent video and I enjoyed it so much that I contributed $10.00 to your channel🤑😊👍🏻.
Very awesome school ecplore!! I know Bridgeport very well, I'm from Rhode Island! Looks like a fun explore! ❤️ we had 2 schools to walk back n forth with a cafeteria but no coffee shop but our school is near a busy area with coffee shops and fast food places so yes we snuck out. I had quite a few of those detention slips 😂😂 awesome explore guys!!
That coffee shop used to be the nursery when I went there. So many teenage girls were pregnant/young moms, the school had its own daycare.
Baltimore here, I really enjoy your documentaries!!
Steve. I been following you for couple years. I remember when u said u watched videos that paid u ...which wasn't much. I so admire you ❤️. You came along way. Best regards from Tacoma Washington.
Wow attended this video is such nostalgia for us all who have attended , there are spirits in there for sure great video btw i watch you guys all the time thank you for shedding light on such a memorable part of ours lives
Glad you enjoyed
Looking forward to your LA videos Steve. I will be moving to live there during the summer.
Colorado here …why in the world weren’t things sold off /cleaned up, cleared out after the school was shut- what a waste 🤔
I am in Dallas,Texas I love watching your videos.🌹
Surely your local library/town hall/civil center would love that big old book!?
Hi Steve I'm Wendy from north Carolina I love your videos hugs
Class of 1991. Thanks for doing this. It took me back to memory lane. Great memories!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool Video. As a CanadianI can't wait to see your Canadian series. Anything in Calgary or Alberta? There is an abandoned highschool here but there isnt much left in it. 😂😂
What a beautiful School, it make UK school's look like a postage stamp, as you went in the what looks like a cinema I saw a beautiful large turquoise blue Orb fly upwards, this was outstanding Good to see you wiv Josh ❤🙏🇬🇧
I graduated class of 2009. Great memories! You missed the second gym and the classrooms in the basement.
Wow my high school! Class of 93! They built a new one and closed this one down. We had good times at Harding.
My boy whats good Pablo? Great times .
@@mikemartinez524 LOL! Yes they were!
Great video👍
Thanks 👍
10:53 pm here in Nevada
Love watching your videos Steve
Good 😊 Morning 🌞 Steve. I just googled this school, and it looks like they bailed on this property to move into a brand new one on Bond Street.
The new one looks really futuristic and high tech.
