Jackson, who attended the school beginning in 1963, famously sang Climb Ev’ry Mountain at a school talent show while his mother, father, and grandfather watched in the audience.

Chilling photos of the dilapidated grade school show classrooms with loose textbook pages strewn about the floor, whose dusty and dirty tiles have been lifted and peeled back for decades.

Graffiti is scribbled on some of the classrooms’ chalkboards.

Other shots revealed how some fixtures and fittings have remained in tact throughout the years.

Pictured are shelves with neatly stacked textbooks which were possibly used to teach Michael and other students.

One photo features what was once an indoor gymnasium, where basketball hoops droop forlornly and a once-shiny hardwood court has become dirty and covered in debris.

Another shows the school’s fenced-off exterior, complete with shattered windows and a boarded-up front door that shows the school’s complete state of disrepair.

Those who knew the Jackson family recounted to the Seattle Times how Michael and his brothers once performed as the Jackson 5 at Garnett Elementary and charged their schoolmates 10cents a piece.

Organizers said more than 30 members of the Jackson family attended the performance.

Although the school may have been defunct for years, the memories created by Michael and his siblings live on.
