Pretty sure this is South Charleston, WV. I am a 1980 grad from a cross town High School. We too had a student smoking area.

Typical Redditor on the left doing a black power salute while actual black people are just trying to take a nice photo with their friends

The three guys with the longest hair look like they could be in a grunge band in Seattle in the 90s.
