On Friday, September 18th, Hoopeston Area High School students will participate in our state-mandated ALICE safety training.
ALICE stands for Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate and provides students and staff with age-appropriate strategies and options to use in the event of an active threat.
The training will be conducted in a safe, age-appropriate, and instructional manner. Our goal is to help students understand what to do and how to respond during an emergency while ensuring they feel supported and prepared.
We appreciate your support as we continue to make student and staff safety a priority. If you have questions about the training, please contact the high school office.
