Luray High School

There is a community issue involving law enforcement on Route 211 (near the New Market mountain). While the situation is contained to that area, Luray High School is in lock-in out of an abundance of caution. A lock-in means that students will be changing classes as normal, all students will be kept inside and early dismissals or transfers of students for the Tech Center will go as planned and are being monitored by the SRO and school administration. Students returning from the Governor’s School are currently being held on Route 211 by law enforcement as all traffic in the area has been halted. There is no direct threat to LHS students or staff or to any PCPS school - this is a precaution given the location of the police matter. Thank you.

Today, students in Mrs. Alger's Honors 9 English class worked on character sketches/characteristics using novels the students selected for their in-class "book club." Students will participate in a variety of mini projects during the course of reading their novels.

Dear PCPS Faculty, Staff and Families, The Department of Criminal Justice Services has shared with school divisions a notice of a school shooting threat that is circulating nationally on social media through Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok. This threat is not specific to any person or school in Page County and it is believed that this is a mass distribution of a spam Snapchat image. However, we are still taking this seriously and will continue to monitor it throughout the day. At this time, there are no specific threats to our schools, staff or students. We are in communication with local law enforcement. There will be an increased police presence at school throughout the day and at dismissal. This social media information is being monitored by multiple agencies and updates will be provided if needed. As we have been sharing all week, please notify us or law enforcement if you hear or read anything of concern. Thank you for your continued support and ongoing vigilance as we all work to ensure the safety of all students and staff. Dr. Fox Superintendent
