NATCHEZ — Natchez police are investigating the early morning break-ins of three buildings at Trinity Episcopal Day School.
When Trinity staff arrived Wednesday morning they found several instances of vandalism, including broken windows and doors in the high school, middle school and elementary buildings on campus.
Police are also reviewing video footage from security cameras at the school.
Most of the school’s students attended the school’s matriculation ceremony at Trinity Episcopal Church in downtown Natchez and were not on the campus as police investigated the scene. Kindergarten through third-grade students gathered in the elementary school cafeteria during the investigation, but returned to their classrooms shortly after police finished reviewing the damage.
Trinity head of school Les Hegwood said that school will remain in session and classes will go on as scheduled.
