At approximately 10:05 AM today, the Junior-Senior High School initiated a brief lockout protocol. Out of an abundance of caution, and consistent with our safety protocols, the lockout was put into effect immediately once we were alerted to an incident at the Highland Town Hall. The lockout was lifted at approximately 10:35 AM once law enforcement confirmed the area was secure.

Operations continued as normal within the building with absolutely no interruption to the school day. Under a lockout, students and staff remain safely inside the building and no visitors are allowed entry. All exterior doors remained securely locked. At no point were students or staff in direct danger.

The safety and security of our students and staff remains our number one priority. We are incredibly proud of how quickly and professionally our students and staff responded to the protocol today. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation in keeping our school community safe.
