After receiving an anonymous report about a possible weapon on campus, Heights High School was placed on “HOLD Mode” today, briefly putting parents and students on alert. According to Click2Houston, the lockdown, which started at 11:40 a.m., limited movement within the school as campus police looked into the matter.
Concerned parents were informed by Principal Wendy Hampton that noon dismissals will be postponed in response to a campus safety measure. According to the letter that Click2Houston was able to get, school administrators promised to keep all parties informed by providing regular updates as the investigation developed.
At after 1 p.m., Houston ISD declared that the “hold” had been removed after officials deemed the threat to be unfounded, enabling classes to continue as usual. The safety of children and staff was confirmed in a statement sent to parents, as reported by FOX26 Houston.
Following the all-clear, Heights High School students and faculty went back to their regular activities. According to the statement provided to FOX26 Houston, the incident, which had raised concerns earlier in the day, was handled in accordance with the school’s safety procedures.
