Wyandotte High School enters the second week of remote learning due to fire

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) -A metro high school is entering its second week of virtual learning due to a building fire.

Wyandotte High School first alerted the public of the fire on Sunday, February 1. It ignited in a small closet beneath a stairwell adjacent to the school’s auditorium.

While the blaze damaged the closet door, the more extensive damage arose from smoke and soot that spread throughout the building. The smoke damaged auditorium curtains and left soot on the walls in the stairwell and upper-floor hallways, the district said.

• Mark Twain Elementary School, 2300 Minnesota Ave.
• New Chelsey Elementary School, 2500 Wood Ave.
• McKinley Elementary School, 1301 Armstrong Ave.

Students will need to have a current Wyandotte High School ID while picking up lunch.

The cause of the fire is unclear.
