SUPT. DR. ROB FLETCHER COMMENTS
“…Lawrence County High School was the scene for two incidents that happened after hours last week.
On February 1, one of the storage buildings located near the soccer field was destroyed by fire. The building housed primarily equipment associated with our FFA organization.
On February 3, an act of vandalism occurred at our weight room facility. There was minor damage to stools, ceiling, etc., but thankfully, no equipment was stolen, and no one was injured. Both cases are under investigation.
We appreciate our state and local authorities that are conducting the investigation and also those that responded to each situation. Our first responders are good people that strive to keep our facilities safe, and again, we are very thankful for those that serve in our police and fire departments.”
