The Cascade County Sheriff's Office informed the school today (10/7) that they have confirmed the identity of the caller that made the phone threat to the school on Wednesday October 6th. The caller, who lives outside of the area, suffers from mental health issues, and officers are confident the caller does not have the ability to carry out their threat. We understand that this event has been unnerving, however we want to reassure everyone that our students and staff are safe. As a safety precaution, deputies from the CCSO will continue to maintain a presence around campus for the remainder of the week.

Today (10/6) the school went into Secure in Place in response to a phone threat. Law enforcement was contacted and is investigating the incident. It has been deemed by law enforcement that there is no imminent threat to the school and normal school operations can continue tomorrow (10/7). As a safety precaution, law enforcement will have an extra presence around campus.
