The high school is in Oakland County, about 30 miles (50 kilometres) north of Detroit.

"As a community, we will get through this with love and grace for one another,” Superintendent Tim Throne said last week, referring to the school's reopening and legal cases related to the shooting.

A temporary memorial set up outside the school was removed before students returned. Throne said experts advised that removing it would help students "further their healing process.” A permanent memorial is planned.
