ROCK SPRINGS — Class is back in session following what is being called a “safety precaution” at Rock Springs High School early Monday afternoon.

The Rock Springs Police Department and Sweetwater County Sheriff’s Office were called in to investigate the high school.

According to the school district’s website, a Hold drill keeps students in a room or area to clear the halls, while a Secure drill locks the outside doors and prevents people from entering or exiting the building.
