On Monday, North Hardin High School was placed on a soft lockdown. “This means that the instructional day continued as normal and special procedures were in place. As a precautionary measure, we asked for additional community support to include local law enforcement and the presence of additional officers,” stated Hardin County School Spokesperson John Wright. School officials are asking parents to remind their students to speak up if they have concerns. “We want our parents to know that our students are safe at school. and if they communicate with our parents during the school day or at home, we just ask our students’ parents to encourage their students to tell an adult if they see anything on social media or hear anything that concerns them. We always appreciate the support of our parents and community.” Activities taking place on campus Monday were canceled as a precaution. We will update this story as it develops.
