There was an altercation on campus involving some of our learners. The situation was quickly controlled by our School Resource Officer who was at the scene. All parties involved have already been removed from campus and the local authorities have been notified. We commend the swift action of our SRO and the appropriate actions that were taken by school administrators. A thorough investigation is now underway.
