On Friday, September 6th, a report was made to school staff and the high school SRO that a student was possibly in possession of a gun at school and had made social media threats. Police and staff immediately, and thoroughly, investigated this claim.
The initial investigation determined there was no credible threat to the school. Due to the students involved being juveniles, please understand that we cannot release any details regarding the identity of those involved.
At this time, our investigation into this situation has indicated no credible threat exists. However, we take all reports of potential school violence very seriously, and this investigation is still ongoing.
We would like to encourage anyone with information about potential school violence to always contact us immediately.
