Students at Franklin Regional High School will return to school Tuesday for an “open house” like atmosphere before classes resume Wednesday. This, after a mass stabbing at the school injured 20 students and one security guard last week.

Franklin Regional School District officials said therapy dogs and counselors will be available throughout the day.

The school has been closed since Wednesday, after police said sophomore Alex Hribal stabbed 21 students and one security guard.
 
Over the last few days, many of the injured were released from area hospitals.  Four victims remain in area hospitals.
 
One of those victims, 17-year-old Jared Boger, has had four surgeries since the attack.  Doctors said Boger is showing signs of improvement.
 
Hribal has been charged with four counts of attempted homicide and 21 counts of aggravated assault. He is currently in a juvenile facility, but is being charged as an adult.
