The WACO Community School District junior and senior high school sustained damage during storms that moved through the area Tuesday evening.
Around 7:30 last night, district leaders notified families that the WACO Jr./Sr. High School had experienced storm-related damage. Out of an abundance of caution, access to the building was restricted while crews began assessing the extent of the damage and working to ensure the facility is safe.
Despite the damage, school officials reported that classes are still scheduled to take place as planned. A follow-up message later in the evening confirmed that school remains on schedule while assessments continue.
District staff continued evaluating the building Tuesday night and plan to resume inspections again this morning. Additional information will be shared as it becomes available, including details for those interested in helping with cleanup efforts.
School leaders also expressed gratitude for the strong response from the community and beyond, thanking families and supporters for their patience and partnership as safety remains the top priority for students and staff.
