GHS Families: The issue at the Middle School is still being investigated. As such, in an abundance of caution, GHS is still in a "Shelter in Place" condition. Lunch has been delayed and students are not allowed to leave. GHS parents ONLY may pick their students up if absolutely necessary. Remember, this is only for GHS parents.
Thank you for your patience; law enforcement is working diligently to be as thorough as possible in this matter.
Middle school students were evacuated to the stadium then transported to the Methodist Church. We are still in the process of sweeping the middle school; therefore, all other sites are still in shelter-in-place. At this time, parents/guardians of middle school students can check their students out at the west wing of the Methodist Church. Other sites are not accessible to parents at this time. Thank you for your understanding.
We have received a threat of a possible device in the middle school. The middle school has been evacuated and all other sites are shelter in place. Law enforcement is investigating the matter. Please do not attempt to enter the area around the west campuses. We will release more information as it becomes available.
