Parents and Community Members,
Early today a call was received at Pocahontas County High School that required a school lockdown and notification to law enforcement. Once on scene at the high school and out of an abundance of caution our Sheriff's Department recommended lockdown at all schools while they investigated. We are dismissing on a regular schedule. We thank you for your understanding and support as we navigate this situation of keeping all students and staff safe.
