Midview High School was evacuated Wednesday afternoon after a fire broke out in the building, the school district said in a Facebook post.
Around school dismissal time, the school's resource officer reported seeing and smelling smoke near the gym, Eaton Township Fire said.
Crews responded to the call around 2:20 p.m. and found heavier smoke and some flames coming from the girls' varsity locker room, Eaton Township Fire said.
The fire has been contained, and the cause is unknown. Eaton Township Fire said the cause does not seem suspicious at this time.
Midview High School will be closed on Thursday for cleaning and to allow the school to air out, the district said in an update Wednesday night.
Students who need to grab essential items from the building may do so during school hours, the district said.
The high school will reopen on Friday.
Eaton Township Assistant Fire Chief Kevin Blair said he credits the school administrators for getting everyone out and ensuring that all students and staff were accounted for during a busy time of day in the building.
