On Monday, February 23, Highland High School administration was made aware of a written threat related to school safety. Administration immediately notified district leadership and School Resource Officer and initiated a thorough investigation.

The individual responsible for the threat was identified, and appropriate action has been taken. At this time, there is no concern for the safety of students or staff at Highland High School.

We appreciate the cooperation and support of our students, staff, families, and law enforcement partners in ensuring a safe learning environment. The safety and well-being of our school community remain our highest priority at Highland CUSD #5.
