PITTSBURGH — Students at Perry High School will return to in-person classes on Friday.
The adjustment comes after a shooting outside of the school on Tuesday morning.
Students at Perry learned remotely on Wednesday out of an abundance of caution. They will also be remote on Thursday before they return to in-person classes Friday.
