Tuesday, September 24, 2024 11:01AMIsaiah Hooks was having a great start to his sophomore year at Apalachee High School : He was in the band, about to participate in a new leadership program and most importantly, focusing on just being happy.
"Today is a huge step for us healing in this building behind us," Barrow County Sheriff Jud Smith told reporters ahead of the open house. "There are safety measures in place and just because you don't see them, doesn't mean they aren't there," Smith added. Counselors, therapy dogs and law enforcement will be on site as students adjust to school routines again.
"Just walking around, it felt so weird. As if I shouldn't be there," Isaiah said."It was really, really hard to think that something like this would happen. Even now, a couple weeks have passed, and it still doesn't feel real that that happened to us."
