The Napier High School in Hazard, Kentucky opened in 1953 and remained in use until 2005. In only a few short years, the property has become battered and beaten, and sports a trashed interior and a very leaky roof.
History
Located in Hazard, Kentucky, the M.C. Napier High School opened in 1953 along the banks of the North Fork Kentucky River in the Hazard Independent School District.(1) The Sherman Neace Athletic Center was later constructed in front of the school. Napier operated until 1997, when it, along with Dilce Combs High School, were consolidated to form the Perry County Central High School.
The property was later used as a county alternative school, although it closed at the end of the 2005 school year.(1) In mid-July 2007, the school was auctioned off.
