A wooden stage at Servite High School in Anaheim collapsed during a pep rally and injured 28 students from Fullerton’s Rosary High School, according to a news report.
Students from the all-girls Rosary High School, which is a sister school of Servite High School, were performing during the annual Red and Gold event when the stage extension collapsed. There were approximately 250 students on the stage at the time, and 28 were injured in the collapse. The students suffered minor to moderate injuries and were all treated at local hospitals.
An Anaheim city official said that the school had failed to submit a required building permit for the stage extension, which was believed to have been built in the early 1980s.
