Early Dawn Elementary

Early Dawn elementary school was a pre-War elementary school located in Washington, DC, notably next to the GNR broadcasting station.

Before the War
On October 23rd, 2077, half of the school's student body, along with several teachers including Carrie Delaney, Mr. Cob, Claudia and Mr. Pollack, went on a field trip to Lamplight Caverns. In Carrie Delaney's holotape message, the player learns they chose a good time to visit the caverns, because the bombs started falling soon after. Some of the kids in the school were the original founders of the settlement Little Lamplight.

After the War
Much of the building has collapsed and decayed in the two centuries after the war, and by 2277, it's little more than a burnt-out structure littered with super mutants. Otherwise, inside there are rotting school desks, educational aids lying about, and one Nuka-Cola machine. However, its strategic location (one of the primary access points to GNR) resulted in it becoming a strongpoint in the Chevy Chase area.

Location
It is just north of the Galaxy News Radio plaza in Chevy Chase. The player must pass through the school during Following in His Footsteps, as it is initially the only way to access the plaza.

Appearances
appears only in Fallout 3
