While the interiors of the school are shot at the same location as they were previously, the school is now under a different name. In December 2020 the name of the school was officially changed to Midtown HighSchool (a coincidental name) due to the former Henry W. Grady having been a white supremacist.

  • Peter Parker walking up stairs inside Midtown High.
  • Peter Parker walking up stairs towards teachers inside Midtown High.
