Sure, there's always a possibility there are some old/valuable pieces in
there that perhaps were donated to the high school some time ago, but
given the situation it's more likely to be lower-end stuff for
student/course use from the 70's-or-so and not of much value. I wouldn't
anticipate much, either in dollars as the seller or in equipment as a
collector.
The majority of the high-end stuff coming to the surface these days
is coming out of long-forgotten storerooms in colleges. A lot of that
stuff got donated to high schools decades ago, and so shows up there as
well. Good stuff showing up in high schools is nowhere near as common
as colleges, but it does happen.
