South Park Elementary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

South Park Elementary is a fictional school in the animated series South Park. It is one of the oldest known locations and has appeared in two incarnations.

1 Old School
2 New School
3 Rooms
4 Offices
- 4.1 Counsellor's office
- 4.2 Principal's office

The old school was seen throughout most of the series, it had a simple cafeteria and various classrooms. The classrooms contained sets of desks (not enough due to low budget), a chalkboard and windows. This version was burnt down in Butt Out.

In Butt Out the school was burnt down after Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny had been smoking. They tried to hide their cigarettes from Mr. Mackey and threw them in the bin. The cigarettes had not been put out and the bin caught fire and burnt down the school. It has the same sort of classrooms (which haven't seemed to change) and same offices. The only difference is the changed cafeteria.

The 3rd Grade classroom was seen up until 4th Grade in which the boys changed classes. It had various desks and a chalk board.

The 4th Grade classroom first appeared in 4th Grade. It had a darker decor and half-desks. It had a blackboard which was destroyed in its first episode when Timmy's wheelchair shot out the front of the school. It is said to resemble a biology classroom with fish tanks, and plants.

The kindergarten classroom first appeared in Trapper Keeper when Mr. Garrison was demoted to kindergarten teacher because of his gay preferences. It has one round desk with seats. It has brightly coloured walls and a chalkboard. After Mr. Garrison was appointed 4th Grade teacher again in The Death Camp of Tolerance it wasn't seen until the 2006 episode Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy. In this 2006 episode the classroom appeared exactly the same, the only difference was the teacher; Ms. Stephenson. However, she commits suicide at the end of that episode (in order to spend eternity with Kyle's little brother), and it is unknown who will replace her.

The Pre-School classroom was shown in the episode Pre-School. It was burnt down by Trent Boyett after Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny asked him to light something on fire so they could play "fireman". The fire grew out of control, burning the classroom and disabling the teacher, Ms. Claridge, for life. It had slides, easels and many other things.

Shop Class was shown in the episode Tweek vs. Craig. It has wooden desks and saws. It is very dangerous and victimised a boy called Tommy who stuck his face in the sander. Kenny had an accident in there and was thrown into a box of rusty old nails.

It was much like a normal classroom except the desks were in one line. It first appeared in Tweek vs. Craig. Kenny was the only male student, since he wanted to avoid getting killed in shop class.

Mr. Mackey teaches about sex education in 4th Grade "B" class. (Proper Condom Use) This classroom appeared in Proper Condom Use when the boys were sent in a separate room to learn about sex education with Mr. Mackey while the girls stayed in the normal 4th Grade class. It had posters of sex education and a darker decor. Mr. Mackey's name was probably based on Macky Auditorium on the campus of the University of Colorado, where Matt Stone and Trey Parker went to college.

Wacky Molestation Adventure- When Stan and Kyle and many other boys from kindergarden to sixth grade are explaining to the "outlanders" what they need to do to get the cell phone. It was shown after all of the kids had taken over the town by calling the police and saying their parents had "molestered" them. It was shown with a lagre Bon fire in the middle of basketball court. Also the gym is used in Dodgeball episode and few others.

Mr. Mackey's office has the word "COUNSELLOR" on the front. Craig is usually seen outside it. It has a seat in which the pupil (or teacher in Mr. Garrison's case) would sit. It also has posters up and Mr. Mackey's certificate to be a school counsellor.

For the worst behaviour pupils are sent to the principals office. It has a poster of a monkey which says "Hang in there!". It also has a bookcase.
