All Mars Area High School students and staff members were evacuated to Mars Area Middle School this morning (Friday, Nov. 11) because of a reported gas leak at the High School.

Responding emergency personnel, working in cooperation with District officials, have determined the cause of the issue to be a outside secondary source, unrelated to the school's gas system, and have deemed the building to be safe. All students and staff members will be returning to Mars Area High School and the education process will resume as normal.     

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as the District investigated this issue. Our District strives to remain proactive in the protection of our students, faculty and staff members.
