Today, during second lunch at approximately 12 noon, our fire alarm went off at Washington High School.
The alarm was triggered by smoke coming from a rooftop unit over F hall. The fire company did arrive on site and assessed the situation before students and staff were able to safely reenter the building. Despite the interruption, all students did have the opportunity to eat lunch.
For more details, read the letter posted below from our principal Judy Ann Marcus.
