Emergency Evacuation Drill Held at PHS; Students Safely Guided to Paramount Theater

An emergency evacuation drill occurred on Monday, February 06, 2017 at Peekskill High School. Each floor of the school had their own path to follow in order to get to the Paramount Theater in an orderly fashion. Students from freshmen to seniors were quiet and respectful during the evacuation drill.

Students were safely directed to the theater by teachers and police officers and used sidewalks to reach their destination. Attendance was taken before and after the evacuation.   

Emergency evacuation drills such as this one are important to perform so that the student body will know what to do in the case of an actual emergency.
