Fox officials confident they will catch Seckman High vandals

Posted April 23, 2013 at 3:37 pm

Fox School District maintenance staff are busy this morning (April 23) scrubbing walls and other areas outside Seckman High School in Imperial, which was vandalized overnight.

Vandals spray-painted “FOX 2013″ and obscene phrases on the outside of the building, on school vehicles and on parts of the newly constructed athletic facilities, Seckman High principal Don Grimshaw said.

“It looks like they started at the loading docks (behind the school) and went around the building (spray-painting),” Grimshaw said. “They got some of the food service trucks and some of the walls and doorways. Then, it looks like they moved out to the field and got the dugouts (at the baseball field), the turf at the baseball field and all the bases.”
