Superintendent Statement on Recent Threats to Schools

Last evening and again this morning, several Catholic schools of the Archdiocese in Johnson, Miami, Wyandotte, Shawnee, and Franklin Counties received bomb threats. Each threat was taken seriously, and local law enforcement was notified immediately. Authorities have been leading the response and investigation at each location.

At this time, students and staff are safe. Law enforcement continues to investigate, and we are following their guidance closely.

We recognize how unsettling this can be for our families, students, and staff. We are grateful for the swift response and partnership of local law enforcement, the leadership of our school administrators, and the professionalism of our faculty and staff members. We also thank our school communities for their patience and cooperation as this investigation proceeds.

School leaders will continue to share updates directly with their communities. Anyone with information related to these threats is encouraged to contact their local law enforcement.
