HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — A student at Hopewell High School was arrested Wednesday after being accused of bringing a weapon to school.
Hopewell principal Tracey Pickard said school administrators got a tip that a student had a weapon on campus. When police searched the student, they reportedly found the weapon. That student, who has not been identified, is now facing charges and discipline from the district.
In a statement, Pickard said, "I ask that every parent and guardian have a conversation with your student about the importance of making sure they never have a weapon at school."
