Rising 9th Graders High School Transition Meeting and Registration-January 11, 2024-5:30PM
Final Exam Schedule
Good morning, this is Dr. Paige Badgett, principal of North Surry High School. I'm calling to address a situation that has come to our attention involving a social media video circulating on TikTok.
Around midnight, administrators became aware of a video circulating on TikTok that depicted a North Surry High School student seemingly carrying a pistol in a school bathroom. Immediate action was taken, and administration contacted the Surry County Sheriff's Office, who responded swiftly. They visited the student's home after receiving the report administration, where it was determined that the item in question was, in fact, a water pistol. The water pistol has been secured by law enforcement. The student involved will face disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. This is an ongoing investigation and charges are pending. If you have any additional information regarding this incident, please contact school administration or the Surry County Sheriff’s Office.
I want to stress that at no point was there a threat made towards any students or staff members. All students and staff are safe, and our school will continue to operate on its regular schedule today.
Student safety is the highest priority for Surry County Schools and the Surry County Sheriff's Office, and we are working diligently everyday to ensure the safety of children. We appreciate everyone’s efforts to work with us in that process.
