A weekend party attended by several Camas High School students has led to a COVID-19 outbreak and a two-day closure of in-person classes at the high school. 

“We have done so much work to get us back to in-person school, and I’m disappointed that some of our students blatantly ignored COVID protocols outside of school,” Camas High Principal Tom Morris wrote in a letter sent to Camas High families Thursday afternoon. “We all need to make good decisions in order to keep ourselves moving in a positive direction. You want to be in school, we want you to be in school. Whether you are in school or out, please wear your mask and follow safety protocols.”
