Contractors in Oklahoma City made a surprising discovery during a school renovation project Wednesday.
Workers were removing chalkboards at Emerson High School to install whiteboards when they discovered even older chalkboards behind them. The hidden chalkboards date back to the early 1900s.
"It was almost like a spiritual moment because people who had lived and played and worked in here ... a part of them is preserved," Emerson High School Principal Sherry Kishore said. "It's like you're going back in time."
The chalkboards still had lessons written on them, on subjects such as multiplication and penmanship.
Oklahoma City Public Schools said a lesson on pilgrims was found in every classroom.
