Luray High School

3:50pm LHS has been cleared by Emergency Services - there is no fire at LHS; instead there is a malfunction in the system. Staff are working to escort any remaining students back to their classroom to retrieve belongings. Please stand by for additional information regarding any other student access to the building to retrieve personal items and for a status on after-school and evening events. Thank you.

Dear Luray High School Community, At approximately 3:00 PM on Monday September 16th, 2024 the fire alarm system was activated at Luray High School. This prompted an evacuation of the building which required that students and staff leave their belongings in the school building. In cooperation with local emergency services personnel we have dismissed students on school buses, to parents, and in their personal vehicles. Once the school building has been cleared by emergency personnel and we are able to reenter, we will notify parents and students of a time when they can return to the building to retrieve their personal belongings. We will continue to provide updates as they become available. Thank you for your continued cooperation and support.

Family and Consumer Science classes at Luray High School participated the "The Wall Challenge." Students were challenged to partner with another classmate and use communication skills to make identical pudding cups with a "wall" between them. The rules stated that students had to use at least 4 toppings, have three layers, and use only verbal communication and active listening. No peaking over the "wall" was allowed.

Luray High School would like to wish the man, the myth, the legend, Mr. Don Ehlers, a very Happy 60th Birthday tomorrow!! You're the best! Enjoy your special day!

9th Graders in Mrs. Caton's and Mrs. Lucas' Health classes learn the basics of CPR with the help of Deputy Beahm. While this instruction will not certify them in CPR, it does give them the tools to begin CPR and the knowledge of what to do in case of an emergency. This first aid and CPR course is a Virginia High School requirement for all students before they graduate. We are so fortunate that Deputy Beahm loves to jump in and assist anytime he's needed.

Route 211 may remain closed for up to two hours. Alternate routes are recommended at this time. Families of Governor's School students are being contacted directly by the LHS or PCHS.

The community issue involving law enforcement on Route 211 near New Market Mountain has been resolved. Luray High School is moving back to normal operations.

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
