Students at Bethlehem Catholic High School returned to classes Wednesday for the first time since a fire last month, with the school day shortened for most students. The reopening follows a three-week period during which a fire tore through an entire wing of portables, triggering significant disruption. On Wednesday, the campus welcomed pupils back, though the reduced schedule means many will have access to 26 fewer classrooms than usual. The situation leaves the school operating with a leaner timetable while students resume lessons. Authorities and school officials have not provided further details on the cause of the blaze or the extent of the repairs remaining, but the focus remains on safe, functional learning spaces as the fall term continues.
