Bag Policy for Athletic Events Effective September 22, 2023 – more info here

The safety, security, and well-being of everyone within the Sanderson community, as well as guests and visitors to the school, remains a top priority to school officials. The intent of this new bag policy for ALL Sanderson High School athletic events, as well as other individually identified school events during the course of the year, is to promote a safe environment by enhancing security. It emerged from the school’s continuous evaluation of its security protocols and procedures, in collaboration with the WCPSS’s Security Department, the Raleigh Police Department, and the Wake County Sheriff’s Office.
