HHS Temporary Building Evacuation

      This message is about the temporary evacuation at the high school today.

      At 11:45 AM it was reported via staff that we had the smell of natural gas in the D corridor.  We immediately implemented our emergency evacuation procedure to evacuate the building.  The gas line leading to the effected area of the building was shut off. The Harrison Fire Department arrived at the high school and contacted Con Edison, who arrived shortly thereafter.  It was determined that there was a broken gas valve on one of the science tables.  The room and surrounding areas were checked, and we received the approval from both Con Ed and the Harrison Fire Department that it was safe to return to the building.  The broken valve is in the process of being repaired.  Students and staff returned to the building at 12:20 PM.   Classes resumed on a shortened period schedule.  Normal dismissal will occur at 2:30 PM.

     You may read this message about the temporary high school evacuation on the Harrison High School website under Important Announcements or, you may call 630-3095.

  Thank you.
