Final Update Regarding the Lockdown at PVHS
Students were overheard during first lunch organizing a fight, and a gun was mentioned. Another student reported the discussion to staff.
The school was locked down about 11:15 under the guidance of the NCSO.
All involved students were found and searched. No fight took place, no weapons were found, and no students were injured. The lockdown was lifted about 1:30 and those students who had not eaten were allowed to go to lunch. All students were given a five minute bathroom break.

Please watch for an article on our website regarding how we will change our communication procedure based on lessons from this event.
PVHS is lifting the lockdown at this time.
The students who did not go to lunch will go now. Everyone else will remain in their 5th period class. All students will have a 5 minute break to use the restroom.
Apologies for the confusion.
The PVHS situation is under control and the NCSO is consulting with the school administration to lift the lockdown, but it is still in place.
Please do not come to the school at this time.
