SAFETY UPDATE: High schools are back in normal session

Important safety update for our parents and families:


11:40 a.m.

All of our high schools are in the process of returning to their normal daily schedule following a safety "lock-down" at all Hanford Joint Union High School District Schools this morning.

All of our high schools were placed on "Secure Campus" status at about 9:45 this morning following a vague online threat of gun violence. 

Following an investigation, police and school administration have determined that it is safe to resume normal school activities. Students will be released from the secure campus status and return to their normal class schedules. 

Thank you for your patience and cooperation. I know we all share the highest concern for the safety of our students and we appreciate the continued support of our families and community.

- William Fishbough, Superintendent 



10:08 a.m. 

This morning, we received a report of an unconfirmed threat of potential gun violence at one of our schools. 

As of 9:45 a.m. all of our high schools are on "Secure Campus" mode - students are safe in their classrooms with school staff and we are working with police to investigate the threat.

Schools will remain on "lock-down" until we are certain there is no threat to student safety. 

Please do not attempt to enter school grounds during the lock-down. Please also help us keep phone lines free during this emergency. 

This announcement is also being sent to all HJUHSD families via phone. We will post and send another message as soon as there is any change. 

Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

- William Fishbough, Superintendent
