Dear Parents and Guardians,

I want to take a moment to inform you about a the controlled evacuation that occurred today at Upper Sandusky High School. A teacher alerted us to a natural gas odor in his science classroom. He took immediate action by turning off the main gas supply and notified our Maintenance Director. To ensure the safety of our students, we relocated the class to a different room.

After using a gas detector, we discovered that gas was still escaping from the Bunsen burner. At this point, we alerted our Superintendent and the fire department, who recommended an evacuation of the building. As it was close to lunch, our cafeteria staff quickly pivoted lunch and prepared bagged lunches for students who wanted them. While they prepared the lunches, we prepared for evacuation.

Parents were notified to pick up their children at our designated reunification location, First Lutheran Church and our Transportation Director ensured that any remaining bus riders were taken home after the majority of parents had picked up their students.

The Fire Department conducted a thorough investigation, our Maintenance Director repaired the gas leak, and the Fire Department deemed the building safe for school tomorrow. While some may feel we overreacted, my priority will always be the safety of our staff and students. I believe it is better to err on the side of caution than to risk the health or safety of our school family.

I would like to express my gratitude to the following individuals for their support during this unexpected event: the USFD, Maintenance Director Terry Bogard, SRO Jesse Lucas, Superintendent Eric Landversicht, First Lutheran Church liaison Kristin Ealy, Janine McMillan, and our dedicated USHS staff.

With just 10 days left before the end of the semester, we look forward to getting back to our regular schedule tomorrow (weather permitting).

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Mrs. Waggy
USHS Principal
Where EVERYday is a GREAT day to be a RAM!

Good Afternoon, The gas leak in the high school has been repaired and the building has been declared safe by the fire department. All practices and events at the high school this evening will run as scheduled. Thank you for your patience.

Attention High School Parents! The HS has been cleared by the Upper Sandusky Fire Department. But, since we have already evacuated please pick up your students up at the First Lutheran Church. You will need to come into the church to sign your students out so we are accounting for your students safety.

We provided lunch to those who wanted it.

Sentinel students were already out of the building - they will return to the HS at their normal time at approximately 3:15.

I will post a. more detailed briefing at the end of the day - after I have had a chance to discuss with the Fire Department and other officials.

For now, you just need to know that your students are safe and sound!

Thank you,

Mrs Waggy

Upper Sandusky high school is being dismissed early out of abundance of caution due to a gas leak in the science lab. Students who drove to school will be released to drive home and students taking the bus will be relocated to first Lutheran Church and we will be arranging transportation for them to get home. Parents of students riding the bus may also pick their child up at first Lutheran if they want to.

Good morning today is Thursday, December 4, 2025. Due to some icy roads and freezing drizzle this morning Upper Sandusky schools will be on a two hour delay.
