Several days of persistent rain have taken its toll on three classrooms on campus. A drainage pipe on the roof broke above the upstairs science hall, causing rainwater to seep into the building instead of flowing outside.

Despite efforts to repair the pipe and stop the flow of water, water seeped into one classroom upstairs and two downstairs leading to the temporary displacement of science teacher Brandon Gonzales, and English teachers Carolyn Synatschk and Josh Melton’s classes.

“It’s stressful not having everything that’s in my room at my disposal always,” Melton said. “Some of the things that were on the ground got destroyed, but it wasn’t a real big loss, but having to think about being in another persons room is stressful.”

Using fans to try and dry out the floor and ceiling, affected teachers hope to get back in their rooms by next week.

“Once we got maintenance here to fix the pipe, we have a service that comes in and helps when we have water damage,” assistant principal Phil Brown said. “Everything should be back and functioning next week.”

While no extensive damage to property was done, students and teachers still feel inconvenienced by the disruption.

“It’s annoying because we have to come upstairs and look in the door,” junior Catherine Anderson said. “Then we have to go to a whole other place in the school.”
