Officials at Red Lion Area Junior High School say the eighth-grade student and a startled deer ended up on the ground after the animal rushed through the school's main entrance around dismissal time Wednesday.
School principal Kevin Peters and a teacher were able to trap the deer in a foyer as other students got out of the way. The deer eventually crashed back out, apparently unhurt.
Peters says the student was taken to a hospital as a precaution but released later in the evening.
Superintendent Scott Deisley says another deer was caught on a surveillance camera ramming a door of the school in June. Class wasn't in session at the time.
