Over the weekend, screenshots of a threat to a “Central High School” were circulated among Winona students on social media platforms. Although there is no Central High School in Winona Area Public Schools, the threat no doubt caused concern, alarm and panic among our students and their families.
There is no credible threat to Winona Senior High School, or any other building in Winona Area Public Schools. The threat originated at a school in Missouri and was not directed to our high school.
We want to thank the students who reported the threat to administration and teachers. There has been a trend of these types of threats throughout the country. Please take this opportunity to talk with your student about school safety, as well as remind them to report any rumors or information about an unsafe situation or behavior to an adult. Remember, if you see or hear something, say something.
