OLIVEHURST, Calif. — Classes are canceled at Lindhurst High School in Olivehurst this Thursday and Friday after an on-campus death.
Deputies with the Yuba County Sheriff's Office responded around 7 a.m. Thursday to reports of someone dying by suicide at the school.
The Yuba County Sheriff's Office said a teenage girl was found dead. Sheriff Wendell Anderson confirmed it was a 14-year-old student and it does appear to be a suicide.
"Today is traumatic for the whole community of Lindhurst and the entire Yuba County. The trauma we are facing here today or the families, our students, our staff is not just at Lindhurst, it's also at the schools in Johnson Park Elementary and at Yuba Gardens Middle School where the child attended, so a bigger community is facing the pain and the grief today," said Superintendent Fal Asrani.
Although classes are canceled for the rest of the week, the campus will be open with several resources, including grief counselors and psychologists. There is a wellness center at Lindhurst High School in room 105.
Anderson said there may have been students on campus and they are working to reach out to those students to offer them support and get their statements.
