ZEBULON - Pike County Schools will conduct a routine active shooter training exercise on Thursday, July 31st.

This drill is part of our ongoing efforts to ensure that law enforcement, emergency medical services, and school personnel are fully prepared in the event of an on-campus emergency.

Please do not be alarmed by the increased presence of police, EMTs, and emergency vehicles in the area during this time. This is a planned safety exercise and no real threat exists.

We appreciate your understanding as we work together to keep our schools and community safe.
