ASCENSION PARISH - On Friday morning, a brief power outage left Gonzales Middle School and East Ascension High in the dark.
According to Entergy's outage map, just over 800 area customers along S. Burnside Avenue were impacted by the outage.
The outages have since been resolved and as of 9:13 a.m., school representatives reassured the public that electricity was on it's way to being restored.
