Volcano High

The central building of Volcano High

**Volcano High** is the primary setting of *Goodbye Volcano High*. It is a high school located in Caldera Bay and attended by the main characters. It is governed by a body known as Caldera City Schools. The school team is known as the Razor Wings and its mascot is a dragonfly.

During the latter half of the game, after strange lights fill the sky which signals the end of times are near, and the dinosaurs begin to accept that the asteroid will really come to kill them, the school is shut down indefinitely. The school was also broken into and vandalized with trash and graffiti. Despite this, a small community of students (including Naomi) are shown to use the school auditorium as a gathering place anyway.

In the game's ending, Worm Drama holds a concert on the school roof. This is foreshadowed earlier in the story, when Reed posited the idea of dying on the school roof when the asteroid hits.

Volcano High consists of four buildings: the main building, a gymnasium/auditorium, a library and an unknown fourth building. In addition, there's a sport field near the gymnasium, and various parking lots and bicycle racks surround the campus. The buildings do not physically connect. The campus is located at the foot of a mountain, and near the bay.

The main building houses various classrooms on its three floors. It is where students will spend most of their time, and may be where staff offices are located. It's interior is laid out in a "T" formation. The roof of the main building features a large analogue clock, as well as ample space for things like a greenhouse for the Gardening Club, or even hosting a musical performance.

The gymnasium/auditorium is the largest of the four buildings. It is used for indoor sporting events, school assemblies, and hosting other events, such as science fairs and school picture day. Its exterior features multiple entrances, a sign designating it as the gymnasium, and three large banners. A small greenhouse structure is located on top, possibly intended as a smoking area.

The library features two floors and a distinctive doom structure on top. In addition, its north and south sides feature double doors and a large sign saying "Library". It is the smallest of the four buildings.

There is a fourth building, seen north of the main school building. It is similar in design to the library, being two floors with a domed structure on top. It is unclear what this building is for, as it is never mentioned, seen on the minimap, or otherwise given any notice or acknowledgement.

## Development History

In the early "dating sim" draft of the game, the school was named Jurassic High, along with the game. When the dating sim concept was dropped and the story was rewritten with a more serious tone, the school's name was changed to "Volcano High", leading to the game's final name. Segments of the school appear in all three of the game's trailers.

## Trivia

* Judging by the clock when Fang arrives in Episode One, school either starts at 10 AM, or the first day starts later than usual, as many students are still outside of the building at the time.
	+ When Fang meets up with Reed and Trish after Naser drives them to school in Episode Two, it is stated by Reed that "You [Fang] being up this early feels... wrong." Given that the halls already have plenty of people out and about during then, it can be assumed that while the building opens earlier in the day—Fang records the Begin Again demo at 7:30 AM, causing Naser to not be able to drive them to school due to having some official planning to do—*classes* start later, and late enough for Fang to be able to regularly sleep in.
* Despite the school's buildings not physically connecting (as seen in the distant shot at the start of Episode Six), the minimap used in the Story Trailer and Episode Two imply that they do.
* Strangely enough, the mountain located behind the school is suspiciously absent in the distant shot in Episode Six. This may simply be because of fog or other visibility issues.
	+ Moreover, the clock appears to be further back when seen from the library.
