LCHS Lunch Incident 9.12.23

Dear Parents/Guardians of LCHS Students

We wanted to inform you that during lunch today, a student set off a firework in our gymnasium while students were in this space. No students were directly harmed by the firework however, the firework was loud and created a lot of smoke. Law enforcement was already on site and able to respond within seconds when the noise was heard. Because of the amount of smoke created, the fire department also responded and provided ventilation of the space. 

School administration will continue the investigation around this incident. 

Students who may have heard the noise or witnessed the smoke may have been shaken-up. Please know that having fireworks or setting off fireworks on a school property is not allowable and we will follow school and district processes to handle next steps with this situation.

School is continuing to run as normal and the only change will be that P.E. classes will have an alternative location. 

Safety is first and foremost for us at Lake County Schools and we appreciate your support. 

Thank you, 

Lake County High School
