EUPORA, Miss. (AP) — Firefighters say a Saturday morning fire has significantly damaged Eupora High School.
Webster County officials told WTVA-TV (http://bit.ly/Q2aYVh) that the fire was centered in a break room of the school.
Officials say the fire didn't do major damage to classrooms.
Classes are expected to continue as normal Monday. Officials say some students won't be able to use their regular classrooms because of smoke damage. They're expected to meet in other campus buildings.
The school serves grades 6-12 and has more than 470 students, according to Mississippi Department of Education data. It's one of two high schools in the 1,900-student district.
Firefighters from Webster County and Oktibbeha County responded.
