Principals Dr. Walden and Ms. Hardaway are going GREEN today to bring awareness for Muscular Dystrophy.
Parents and families- we appreciate your patience and understanding as we have worked in conjunction with the Athens Police Department and local office of the Department of Homeland Security to fully investigate this matter. As suspected, the original threat reported yesterday afternoon was confirmed to be localized in the Athens, Georgia area and necessary action has been taken by the authorities. We appreciate the continued support and presence of our local police department as an extra security measure in our school community. If you chose to keep your student home today, please make sure to send a parent note with them as they return to school.
As always the safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We wanted to inform you that earlier this afternoon we were made aware of a threat circulating on social media. Through coordinated efforts between Athens Police Department and the local office of the Department of Homeland Security, authorities believe the threat to be intended for Athens, Georgia and not Athens, Tennessee. As an extra security measure and peace of mind for our students and staff, we will have an enhanced security presence on our campuses over the next several days.
