Greenwood School District Determines Recent Fires Intentional

The Greenwood School District has determined the cause of a fire that occurred at the high school last week.

On Thursday, January 14th, there was a small contained fire in the boys' bathroom by the West Gym. Local police and the Greenwood Fire Department were dispatched to the High School.  There were no injuries as students and staff were promptly evacuated.

The district has determined the fire was an intentional act and the individual responsible has been identified.  They have not received a final cost on damage or clean-up as of yet.

Clean up was completed Monday afternoon and damage was minimal.  Since they do not have a final cost, they’re not sure if it will exceed their deductible.
