The Natchitoches Parish School district received a bomb threat on Feb. 5 regarding Natchitoches Junior High School. The bomb threat was specifically targeted at the bathrooms on campus.

All students were immediately moved to the football field and local law enforcement conducted a search in all bathrooms, classrooms, and hallways. Law enforcement thoroughly searched the campus and gave the all clear within the hour.

Students were outside for approximately one hour and were monitored closely by NJH faculty and staff, including resource officers. Students returned safely to class after the investigation was concluded.

NPSB officials would like to thank the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office for conducting their investigation thoroughly and ensuring the safety of all students and staff. Student safety continues to be NPSB’s greatest responsibility and NPSB officials will always act accordingly when a threat is made against a campus.
