A message from the Mercer County School District on Tuesday afternoon:
Due to the positive COVID-19 test results of an attendee or attendees at the parent-sponsored “prom” and the number of undocumented attendees without masks, the Mercer County Health Department has directed the district to institute an “adaptive pause” at Mercer County High School. No other schools are affected at this time. This means that the high school will move to remote learning for the remainder of this week and next week as we seek to prevent any further spread of the virus. In-person classes will resume Monday, May 10th. Extracurricular activities at the high school will also be paused during this time. Non-symptomatic fully vaccinated individuals are not required to quarantine.
