Jaime Hembree

Hello MCSD Family,


This is Dr. Hembree from McCormick County School District with an emergency update.  


As I am sure you have heard, a fire started at McCormick HIgh School yesterday evening after 11 pm.  We believe the fire began due to a lightning strike.  Firefighters have worked tirelessly to contain the fire all through the evening, and we are extremely grateful for their service.  Many firefighters and first responders are still on site.  We know this information is difficult to hear, and we promise to keep you informed as updates become available.  As we navigate logistics for the final week of school,including high school graduation, we will share those with you too.  We ask that you please pray for our first responders and entire community.  


Thank you for your attention to this essential message, and once again we will continue to provide you with updates as they become available.  


Sincerely,

Dr. Hembree
