This morning, March 18, citizens may notice an increased law enforcement presence at Natchitoches Central High School. This activity is part of a proactive operation involving K9 units conducting routine searches on campus.

 

These efforts are in response to a recent rise in THC vape usage among students. Our goal is to maintain a safe and drug-free environment for all students and staff.

 

There is no active threat to the school, and all students are safe. This is strictly a preventative measure to deter and address the presence of illicit narcotics on school grounds.

 

We appreciate the public’s understanding and continued support in helping us keep our schools safe.
