Topsail Middle School received the all-clear this morning after a possible gas odor prompted the evacuation of students and staff.

The odor was traced to a burner in the school kitchen. The valves were turned off, the equipment is being inspected, and fire personnel cleared the building for normal operations.

Topsail Middle School families were notified directly by SMS and voice call throughout the situation. Thank you for your patience this morning,

Twenty-five years later, we remember.

On September 11, 2001, thousands of lives were lost, families were forever changed, and first responders answered an unimaginable call.

Today, Pender County Schools pauses to remember those who died, honor those who served and sacrificed in the years that followed, and recognize the families and communities who continue to carry the impact of that day.

For our students, September 11 is history. It is our responsibility to help them understand why we remember.

🇺🇸 We will never forget.
