EVERGREEN, Colo.-
Evergreen High School was evacuated for about an hour Tuesday after a fire that sheriff’s officials were investigating as arson.
The fire was contained to a few lockers in the boys locker room, Jefferson County sheriff’s spokeswoman Jacki Kelley said.
Unspecified combustibles were found in one locker, she said. Investigators had interviewed a few people, including one boy, but no one was being called a suspect yet, Kelley said.
Any suspect would likely face charges of second-degree arson and criminal mischief, she said.
Classes resumed around 9:15 a.m., and students started taking the Colorado Student Assessment Program tests, or CSAPs, school district spokeswoman Lynn Setzer said.
No damage estimate was available.
