HUTTO, Texas (KXAN) - Smoke coming from an experiment in the science lab earlier Friday afternoon spurred an evacuation at Hutto High School.
All students headed to the stadium as fire crews worked to vent the building.
"Just a regular experiment that had some smoke to it that set off our alarms," said Hutto ISD spokeswoman Emily Grobe. "There is not a HAZMAT team here."
The experiment called for a mixture of sodium and water, which created the smoke and caused alarms to go off. School officials said that is standard experiment in a chemistry class.
The evacuation ended around 3 p.m., and the students went back to school.
Any students who missed lunch during the evacuation were served in the cafeteria before they headed back to class.
Meanwhile, no students or staff were injured.
