“We are thankful to students and parents for their diligence in monitoring social media and promptly reporting any threats to school safety or to the disruption of the educational process,” the release said. “Special thanks to local, county, state and regional law enforcement agencies as well as EHS administration, staff and district school resource officers for maintaining student safety.”
