Good afternoon,

It has once again come to our attention that there is social media post that has caused concern and questions about the added security at the high school.  The post states that there was a communication in a classroom about there being an active shooter on CCHS campus. This is being looked into and if that statement was made, it will be addressed. 

There was no active shooter on campus. There was an incident in the community the week prior where two young people exchanged gun fire. This did not happen near the campus. There was no “drive by” at the school. We have had some issues on campus with students arguing over the incident in the community and choosing sides with one or the other of the young people involved. These arguments were mediated but feelings are still strong on the topic. We were concerned about the arguments escalating and disrupting classes. We made the decision to add security and administrators to the campus to assist with supervision as a precaution. We requested that there be frequent visit to the campus by CCPD and they have been very helpful with supervision during drop off and pick up.

We anticipate that the security will be on campus for several weeks.

If you have a student that attends  CCHS and have any additional questions, please call the school or district office.
