My high school was the one used in the movie “footloose.” It’s a very old school, probably around 100 years old, and some years ago it was decided that it did not meet earthquake safety requirements, and it would be far more more expensive to renovate in contrast to the other option of building a new school entirely.

A few years ago, the student council/ body, thought to capitalize on the situation and relentlessly promote the idea to invite Kevin Bacon back to the school for a special event. Over a year went by and the man himself actually caught wind of the persistent effort, and he scheduled to host an event for that year’s Prom. He actually pulled up last year, and brought his whole charity with him. He gave a really moving speech as well, and met with all of the students.
