MOUNT HEALTHY, Ohio — There were no classes at Mt. Healthy Junior/Senior High School Wednesday as officials investigated a threat "in the form of a potential shooting," the district said.
Mt. Healthy City Schools first announced late Tuesday that the school would be closed due to a safety concern that "requires further investigation." The district said Wednesday a student notified a teacher via email just after 9 p.m. Tuesday about a threat of a potential shooting.
The teacher saw the email and immediately contacted the district's administration. Mt. Healthy City Schools then closed the school and began investigating, making a report to the Mt. Healthy Police Department.
"While the investigation has not found evidence to support the initial claim, we want to emphasize the importance of taking all threats seriously," the district said in a letter to families. "The safety and security of our students and staff will always be our top priority, and we will continue to be vigilant in addressing any concerns that arise."
Mt. Healthy Junior/Senior High School will be open Thursday, and the district said parent-teacher conferences will resume as scheduled.
Earlier this year, the school had to use a calamity day after a hoax put both the Junior/Senior High School and nearby Mt. Healthy Preparatory and Fitness School on lockdown.
