The Monrovia Consolidated School System (MCSS) has received with immense concern reports of an alleged burglary incident at the William V.S. Tubman High School. While details of what exactly transpired remain sketchy at this time, the MCSS has assured the public that it is working diligently with the relevant authorities to establish the facts. The MCSS said it remains deeply concerned for the wellbeing of its students who may have been affected by this abrupt and unfortunate incident. The institution extends its thoughts and prayers to them, reaffirming its commitment to ensuring their continued safety and security. In immediate response, the MCSS has engaged the Liberia National Police to launch a full-scale investigation into the matter.
The public is therefore strongly admonished to refrain from spreading misinformation or speculation about the incident, as doing so may undermine the ongoing investigation and disrupt efforts to uncover the truth. Earlier today, the Acting Superintendent of MCSS, Dr. Augurie E. Stevens, visited the scene of the alleged burglary. His visit was intended to ascertain firsthand accounts of the situation, extend support, and monitor the unfolding developments. Dr. Stevens further instructed that security personnel of the MCSS, in collaboration with the Liberia National Police, be given the space and cooperation needed to carry out their work effectively.
As a precautionary measure, and by directive of the Acting Superintendent, William V.S. Tubman High School will remain closed until Sunday, September 28, 2025. This temporary closure is to allow security authorities to complete their investigation without disruption and to guarantee the safety of students and staff. Normal academic activities are expected to resume on Monday, September 29, 2025. Meanwhile, the MCSS has assured students, parents, and the public that the findings of the investigation into the incident will be made public the soonest, affirming its commitment to transparency, accountability, and above all, the safety of its students.
