It's a shame that things like this happen now. They did not back in my day. The only thing we had to worry about was the occasional fight and that was always hand-to-hand not the free-for-all thug-fest it is now. NHCHS needs to be closed off from the street, period. I would like to see metal detectors put in place as well. Then have the stiffest penalties for kids that bring them to school regardless of the reason. (Banned for life!)Let's face it. NHCHS does not sit in Mayberry, NC. There is way too much crime in the area surrounding it. Safety for the kids attending there needs to be paramount!!
