Good afternoon. This is Principal Shannon DuPlessis. When something occurs on our school campus, I want to keep you informed and provide you with accurate information.
At approximately 11:35 a.m. today, administrators were made aware of a strong smell and smoke in the vocational building. As a result, all students and staff in the vocational building were evacuated. The Pilot Mountain Fire Department responded and it was discovered that a ballast shorted in a fluorescent light bulb. Students and staff remained outside for only a short amount of time and no students or staff were injured during this event. Classes in the vocational building have been relocated for the remainder of the day and have resumed. School will be dismissed at the regularly scheduled time.
I appreciate all students and staff for evacuating the building in a safe and timely manner, as well as the Pilot Mountain Fire Department for their quick response.
Safety is the highest priority for Surry County Schools and we are all working diligently every day to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We appreciate everyone’s efforts to work with us in that process.
It’s a beautiful day in Surry County! Why? Because today we got to say welcome back to teachers and staff in one of the best ways: Convocation!
This year’s theme, Thrive, was the emphasis of the program. Employees were invited to Pilot Mountain Middle School where they got to mingle with local community and business partners, along with a program featuring remarks from dynamic leaders in the district. Door prizes collected from local businesses were given away to lucky employees!
Thank you to everyone involved who made this event possible! #ThriveSCS
