An Oconee County Sheriff's deputy was called to Oconee County High School around 1:30 p.m. Sunday to investigate an incident of vandalism.

According to a report, the deputy met with an administrator who said someone had drawn "vulgar" images and obscene words on the front and back of the school's booster club sign.  Graffiti also appeared at the entrance to the school's doors, windows and sidewalks.

Mark Channell, Assistant Superintendent for Student Services, said school officials brought in a crew of maintenance workers Sunday and cleaned up the graffiti within a couple of hours.

"We don't know who it was, but fortunately they used stuff that was easy to get off the windows," he said.  It didn't appear that those responsible intended for any property to actually get damaged, he added.
