Two grass fires broke out in the vicinity of Frisco High School on Tuesday, according to statements from school leadership. Principal Shawn Perry addressed parents and staff to confirm that the campus itself was not threatened by the flames. He assured families that the standard school schedule, including the end-of-day dismissal, would proceed as planned.
In a written communication to parents, Perry emphasized the well-being of the student body. "Your children are safe, and that's what matters most," Perry said in a letter to parents. The message aimed to reassure households that the situation did not compromise the safety of those on site.
Despite the normal schedule, specific safety measures were implemented for students exiting the building. Those who typically walk through the area affected by the fires were instructed to avoid that route. Instead, these students were permitted to remain inside the cafeteria until conditions in the surrounding area improved. This precautionary step ensured that no one had to pass through the active fire zone during dismissal.
School district officials coordinated their response with the Frisco Fire Department. Fire crews were dispatched to the area to address the incidents. The collaboration between the school and emergency services focused on managing the immediate safety concerns for students and staff.
