At about 7:15 this morning, a man was seen walking near the tennis courts on the high school campus. A teacher who saw the man immediately notified the school office and the Principal contacted Wentzville Police.
At the recommendation of the Wentzville Police, Wentzville Middle School was also placed on lockdown, and students arriving at the Heritage campus were moved to a safe location.
