By Michelle Murdock, Freelance Writer

According to a email message from Principal Alyson Geary, drug seeking seeking dogs did a sweep of areas of the Hopkinton High School building looking for illegal substances on Friday, May 5, 2012. Two K-9 units were involved, both from Middlesex county. The search included common areas of the school building including the hallways, bathrooms, locker rooms as well as approximately 15 classrooms. Students remained in their classrooms and teaching activities continued during the 45 minutes while the search was taking place. The dogs did not interact with any students during the search.

"This sweep is a part of our on-going efforts to keep Hopkinton High School safe and drug free," said Geary. "We did not locate any illegal substances as a result of the search this morning. If you have any questions or concerns about this search, please don’t hesitate to contact my office."
