Good afternoon. This is Paige Badgett, principal of North Surry High School. This morning, North Surry Administrators received an anonymous tip through the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System that there was a potential weapon on campus. Based on the information in the tip, the school was placed under lockdown. I immediately contacted law enforcement, who responded quickly and began investigating the tip. Law enforcement moved from classroom to classroom lifting the lockdown. No weapon was found.
Student safety is the highest priority for North Surry High School. We work hard every day to ensure the safety of our Greyhounds.
I hope that you have a restful evening. I look forward to seeing students, faculty and staff on campus tomorrow.
