Abandoned Schools

Trace the footprints of students and teachers who once walked these abandoned halls.

The empty classroom, in an abandoned school, with all it's chairs neatly aligned, captured in Heather Hacker's photography.

These spaces silently narrate the tale of changing economics and population dynamics across various neighborhoods.

The echoes of chalk on blackboards, the rustle of turning pages, and the spirited debates that once filled the air have now been replaced by a profound stillness. 

From schools that were once part of hospital communities, to those that stood alone, the impact of shifting demographics and the scarcity of education funding has left these schools abandoned to time.
