White County High School north of Cleveland was evacuated Tuesday morning due to what appeared to be smoke in the building.

White County School officials informed the parents of students that at approximately 9:58 AM, White County High School’s fire alarm system engaged due to a faulty thermostat.

The message said maintenance personnel addressed the issue, and the White County Fire Department cleared the building.

Students were able to re-enter the building at 10:30 AM.
