Suffolk County Charter School

The Suffolk County charter school is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4.

Background
In exchange for funding, Principal Jackie Hudson agreed to implement the government's experimental Nutritional Alternative Paste Program (NAPP) at the school. Participation required limiting food consumption within the school to a government-provided food paste. This decision was apparently made without the consent of faculty, students, or parents.

Per Principal Hudson's announcements, the NAPP was launched on October 18 and any outside food was to be confiscated from then on. These announcements can be heard on three holotapes found throughout the school.

According to a letter drafted on Mr. Davidson's terminal, both faculty and students were unhappy with the NAPP. The draft indicates that a week of paste consumption seemingly resulted in an increase in problematic student behavior and "pinker" complexions in everyone. A majority of the ghouls at the school do possess a pinker complexion compared to other ghouls in the wasteland.

Exterior
The school grounds are inhabited by (pink) feral ghouls. Two main floor entrances are available: the southwest front door and the northeast back door. To the south of the school is the Murkwater construction site, which is home to a mirelurk queen.

Interior
The interior is also inhabited by feral ghouls (including a glowing one upstairs, which stirs when the door to the library is opened).

The building consists of 3 levels: a main floor, an upper floor, and a basement. Upon entry through the front door, the reception office and adjoined principal's office is on the right; a hole in the wall on the left leads to a restroom. Centered is a collapsed stairway to the upper floor with a hallway on either side. The lefthand hallway leads to the restrooms and a series of classrooms; the righthand hallway leads to the cafeteria (entrance initially chained from the opposite side).

The collapsed staircase can be used to reach the upper level by jumping from the railing or topmost step. The upper floor can also be accessed using an intact back staircase via the working elevator that runs between the basement and main floor. This method requires one to traverse through the classrooms off of the main floor's left hallway and then through the basement (via the hole in the cafeteria floor) due to rubble blocking direct access to the staircase.


 * Note: You can also melee V.A.T.S your way to the upper floor by targeting the pink ghoul laying down at the top of the collapsed staircase.

Notable loot

 * Unstoppables issue #4 (+1% chance of avoiding all damage from an attack) - In the library on the second floor.
 * Fusion core - In the basement, inside the farthest generator.
 * Very large amounts of Food paste scattered throughout the school.
 * Approximately 10 Vault-Tec lunchboxes, in classrooms, desks, on the floor, or in lockers.
 * Stealth Boy - In the basement, behind a door secured with an expert terminal.
 * 5 overdue books - One on the counter outside the principal's office next to a broken terminal, one right next to the stealth boy described above, one behind a large door with Novice lock in the kitchen area, one on the second floor, on a table behind a locked expert door, one on the floor of the library on the second floor next to the dead body in a pink dress. There is a terminal to return them in the library on the second floor.
 * 3 school announcements holotapes - The first is in the principal's office on the desk, the second in the cafeteria on the podium, and the third in the library on the desk next to the Unstoppables. Each contains audio by Principal Hudson regarding the school's participation in and adherence to the NAPP.
