At approximately 1:00 p.m. a call was made to the Canton Police Department issuing a bomb threat “in two hours” at Pisgah High School.  The police department notified Pisgah High officials who promptly secured the campus and began making the process of evacuation to the school’s athletic stadium.

When the evacuation is complete, parents may check out students at the stadium.  Parents are encouraged to check at the stadium main entrance to access student checkout.

No one will be allowed to enter the Pisgah High School main campus until it is cleared by law enforcement officials.

The school and/or school district will provide additional updates as the situation develops.

“Principal Bailey and Superintendent Garrett are working with law enforcement and staff to safely and effectively evacuate the campus,” said Bill Nolte, associate superintendent.  “At this point our primary concern is safety.  We will follow up with additional communications and investigative steps when we feel our students and staff have been moved safely.  This is an active evacuation situation.  Local citizens can assist us by avoiding Pisgah High School and the stadium unless they are involved in checking out students.”
