I would feel shocked and angry at whoever did it. At the same time I would feel heartbroken.
I would try to reflect upon the good memories relative to the location and see if there was some way that I could turn it around for good. Perhaps people would give money to see the location have a second life such as a homeless shelter or a new school. Salvageable items may even be in good enough shape to be featured at a local library, historical society or museum.
There is always a way to find good in a tragedy just as so many of us have through tragic events like the September 11th Twin Towers terrorist attack. We will never forget, but we will be strong.

As an added note, my older son (12) is training to be a Jr docent for the Gamble house in Pasadena. He too is interested in the history of our city.
It's funny to see pictures of the original settlers, taking pictures in the spots that I used to PARTY at as a kid :P. I have taken pictures at the exact same rocks and the exact same waterfalls.
The history of our city is so amazing. I'd be brokenhearted if anything happened to our school.

I would be devastated. I have been really involved lately in history of Pasadena, and Sierra Madre. Many of these schools started in the early 1900s, as a one room school. My kids are enrolled in a district where the population is less than 12k. These schools have grown to what they are today. It's an awesome place, and there's so much history. As an added note, my older son (12) is training to be a Jr docent for the Gamble house in Pasadena. He too is interested in the history of our city.
