Charleston Police Release Statement On Rumored Threat Against Charleston High School

Dear Students and Families,

This is an update on rumors of a threat toward Charleston High School. The threat was seen on Snapchat and included a screenshot and threatening language including a reference to “CHS”. Over the last couple of hours, Charleston High School administration has worked with the Charleston Police Department and has been able to determine that the threat does not involve Charleston High School, but rather a school in Clinton, Oklahoma.

Clinton, Oklahoma school officials are aware of the threat to safety toward their school.

The safety and security of our students is of the highest importance, and we want to always encourage students to share any information involving threats or safety with school officials as soon as possible. As an added precaution we intend to have increased police presence at Charleston High School moving forward.
