The search continues for a teen from Southern Indiana who was pulled out to sea during a trip to North Carolina.

Jimmy Bittner was swimming with a friend off the coast of Hatteras island in North Carolina last week when he got caught in a current.

His friend returned to shore, but Bittner is still missing. Officials say that water conditions in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew have made the search more difficult.

Bittner is a junior at South Central High School in Harrison County.

Counselors will be available at the school Monday as kids return from fall break.

One of the school's teachers was killed in an ATV crash in the town of Elizabeth last week.
