Dear Herrin CUSD #4 Families: Prior to the start of school today, high school staff contacted emergency personnel in response to a medical emergency that resulted in a disturbance. No students were harmed, and the individual was taken by ambulance for medical attention. Approximately 30 students and 5 staff were in adjacent classrooms and witnessed the disturbance. They immediately notified high school administrators. School counselors, social workers, and other HHS staff are meeting with students and staff that were involved. The health and safety of our students will always be our top priority, and we will continue to provide any necessary support. We greatly appreciate the love and support we receive from our community. Thank you and have a great day.
