Dear Andrean Family,
As recovery efforts continue following last week's tornado, we want to provide a brief update on the status of our campus and ongoing planning efforts.
Today, Andrean leadership met with representatives from Big Shoulders Fund, the Diocese of Gary, and Tonn and Blank Construction, LLC to discuss damage assessments, potential timelines, and next steps for our school community. These conversations are ongoing, and we will share additional information as plans continue to develop.
At this time, the Andrean campus remains closed. For the safety of our community and to allow recovery personnel to perform their work, please refrain from visiting campus until further notice. Thank you to Merrillville Police for their presence and for keeping an eye on Andrean’s campus.
To help keep our community informed, we have launched a Campus Update webpage that will serve as the central source for the latest information, frequently asked questions, and future announcements. Please check this page regularly as new updates become available. We will still communicate updates through email to families first.
Visit the Campus Updates page at: andreanhs.org/about/campus-updates.cfm
We anticipate providing additional updates later this week as more information becomes available.
Thank you for your continued patience, support, and prayers during this challenging time. Please continue to keep the Andrean and Merrillville communities in your prayers as we navigate the recovery process together.
See you at Victory Field! Go Niners!
Jaycob Knazur
Principal, Andrean High School
