Lock-down drill at NHS
NORWICH – In a continuous effort to keep school safety a main priority and keep the school drug-free, administrators, staff and students underwent the first of what could be many lock-downs this week.
Joining forces with Southern Tier K-9 units including up to five highly-trained dogs, Norwich High School officials administered a full lock-down drill. Students were required to remain in classrooms while the units walked the halls and began to search for drugs, drug paraphernalia or other harmful substances that do not belong on school property.
The drill, that high school Principal Tom Knapp had said would be the first of the year, was a surprise to students and was said to have been successful.
Since last year the high school has had a series of full-length drills including local police units, locker searches and classroom lock-ins.
Besides searching for drugs and paraphernalia, the drills are designed to show faculty, staff and students what an emergency situation will look like if ever there is a problem.
Superintendent Gerard O’Sullivan explains in a time where school violence has become a more serious issue, these drills help prepare not only the students but the faculty and staff in the building as well.
Officials said nothing serioius was found during the drill. Knapp is currently planning more drills throughout the year and they too, will be conducted randomly.
