Power Outage

This morning at about 6:30 am, a transformer blew which cut electricity to the school building. The Boone County Schools maintenance staff and Duke Energy staff were on site shortly to determine the extent of the problem. Fortunately, there were no injuries and our students and staff were not at risk at any time.

At about 8:30 am we found out that the repairs would take most of the day. The decision was then made to dismiss students at 10:00 am as that would allow the buses to return after their elementary run and give the school a chance to contact parents to be sure their child could leave early.

All things considered, the dismissal went very well. Thanks to all students, parents, and school staff for helping out in a challenging situation.

The repairs are expected to be finished this evening and we do expect to have school on Friday.

All afterschool activities are canceled. However, the power outage did not affect Borland Stadium so tonight's senior night activities and football game will go on as expected.
