Teacher at Center of SCHS Cat Incident Withdraws Resignation

The teacher who school officials say had resigned following a cat castration controversy at Stephens County High School has withdrawn that resignation.

Stephens County School Superintendent Bryan Dorsey said Tuesday morning that Mr. Daniel Hebert officially withdrew his resignation.

Dorsey had reported that Hebert had originally resigned last week after school officials said he castrated his personal cat in his Animal Science classroom.

Meanwhile, Toccoa-Stephens County Humane Shelter Director Jeff Roberts says that an investigation into the incident by Animal Control, in conjunction with other local and state agencies, is ongoing at this time.
