Terrebonne High School consists of 3 floors. But the tower above the front doors is 5 stories tall. Few people have been to the 4th and 5th floors of THS in the tower. It is locked up, because the only access is by walking up and onto the roof.
     
Once on the roof, the 4th floor is accessed by entering the (locked) copper door. You will find yourself staring at giant air ducts. They take up most of the space on the 4th floor. There are no stairs leading to the 5th floor - only a narrow metal ladder.
   
Upon climbing the ladder through a hole in the floor above, you find yourself on the 5th floor. A water tank, dating from 1940, is still located there. This was used to provide emergency water pressure and as part of the heating system. Another ladder leads to an opening to the roof, but it is sealed off.
