Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, has commenced a gradual reopening following a devastating mass shooting that claimed the lives of two students and two teachers. The reopening, which started on Tuesday, saw students returning to classes for half days until October 4, with a transition to full school days scheduled for October 14 after a weeklong fall break.
Despite the semblance of normalcy with students walking through the parking lot, the presence of law enforcement vehicles served as a stark reminder of the recent tragedy. The school's J Hall, where the shooting occurred, will remain closed, and students will be temporarily relocated until new classroom pods are set up in January.
