SHIPPENSBURG — Officials say a lightning strike has delayed the scheduled start of classes at Shippensburg Area Senior High School in Cumberland County.

School district officials say the high school was struck by lightning, which has affected electricity within the building. The district didn’t say when the strike occurred.

The building was to open Thursday, but that has now been pushed back to Aug. 21. The ninth grade orientation and open house originally scheduled Tuesday will be held Thursday.
