Bishop Connolly high school

A school in Fall River that is closing down a year after this is posted. The student body is a mix of furries, trash cans, daters, geniuses, and jocks who don't know how to play sports. The locker rooms are known for gay behavior in both the girls' and the boys'.The teachers are okay, and nobody will remember this place in a year. Also, I swear to God, this place is an SCP. There are always the same exact 5 or 6 people at the school at all times, patrolling on predetermined routes, and they are their only students. They are being controlled. Send help
