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.
