Type: Landmark / Public Institution

Overview

Brookside District School, usually just called “Brookside,” serves every grade in town from kindergarten through senior year. Three squat brick buildings cluster around a shared courtyard and a dusty baseball diamond, keeping roughly 300 students on a single campus.

Atmosphere

  • Lighting / Weather: Fluorescent hallways, sunlit classrooms, and a persistent draft at the main entrance.
  • Sound / Mood: Locker doors slamming, sneakers squeaking in the gym, and the distant crack of a bat at practice.
  • Textures / Architecture: Faded brick, narrow windows, and trophy cases that smell faintly of varnish and old paper.

Notable Locations Within

The Courtyard

A cracked concrete square with a few benches and a flagpole. Students gather here between classes and after lunch.

The Baseball Diamond

A well-worn field behind the buildings, used for practice, pickup games, and late-night dares.

Key NPCs

  • Principal Hayes: Strict but fair, determined to keep the school running on schedule.
  • Coach Leon Burke: The baseball coach and gym teacher who knows every family in town.
