The presence, or lack thereof, of a National Park is irrelevant.
Your last statement is quite incorrect; it is relevant. It is NOT a school any longer. As the National Park Service is not in the business of running schools the inclusion of Plains High School within the National Park System obviously indicates it's no longer used for its original purpose. i.e. a high school.

There are many, many facilities within the National Park System that are no longer used for their original purposes. For example, Springfield Armory no longer makes guns and is chock full of them yet you cannot tote your personal gun inside as it is now Springfield Armory NHS.

Be safe.

Be safe.
