(I have to say that the picture with the sign indicating such would make a good funny email to forward around Mississippi education circles..).<\/p>\n<p>The building has obviously been out of use for a good while, and I think only the fact that it is in the middle of a residential area has kept it from being vandalized and tagged to a fare-thee-well.  Certainly it is decrepit, which can be seen in the google view (which can be zoomed) as well as my pictures.  Signs around the school indicate that the lot is to become luxury townhomes in a gated community, so I suppose the building will be demolished at some point, though with the current real-estate market, I doubt the developers will be in a big hurry.<\/p>\n<p>(Hat tip to commenter tonkatoy)<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"..\/pix\/11\/07\/p1220535.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\"
