This afternoon at approximately 1:00 pm, a small fire broke out in a stairwell at Preston High School and the fire department responded.

Students and staff were safely evacuated to St. Joseph’s Catholic Elementary School. Both the fire and police departments have deemed the school safe, and have released the building back to the school board.

School will resume at normal time tomorrow.

Thank you to emergency services, students and staff at Preston High School for their quick response.
