• Possible School Threats

    After the school day ended, Walhalla Middle School administration was made aware of a threat of school violence made by a student.  A joint investigation with the Oconee County Sheriff's Department resulted in the student being detained and charged with making school threats.  There were also rumors of possible threats at West-Oak High School and Walhalla High School.  Both of these incidents were thoroughly investigated but were determined to be false rumors; no credible information was found to support the possibility of a threat. As a district, school safety is our top priority and we will continue to thoroughly investigate situations like these.  We encourage parents to talk with their children about the seriousness of making threats  and the importance of telling an adult as soon as possible if they are concerned about comments made by another student.   To learn more about the safety measures in place in our schools, we encourage you to visit our  Safety & Security Webpage

An announcement was made to students reminding them that any actual information or reason to believe there was a danger to the school should be communicated immediately to an adult.  Administrators also communicated that spreading of false information causes a great deal of concern among students, staff and parents and will be handled accordingly through school discipline.
