Dear FHUMHS Families,
The safety and well-being of our students and staff is always our top priority, therefore I felt it pertinent to inform you about a safety concern addressed this morning. It came to our attention this morning, Thursday, September 7th after students returned from a pre-planned relocation drill, that we had a student in possession of a loaded long-gun on school property. This reported incident had no connection to the planned drill. The long-gun was reported to be in a student’s vehicle. Upon learning this we immediately notified law enforcement, who responded quickly to the situation, and we are in contact with the student’s family. There is no known threat to students or staff at this time. We are taking this incident very seriously. Per our school policy, weapons of any kind are not allowed on school property. If you ever learn of any potential safety concerns, please let us know. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out.
Sincerely,
Brooke Olsen-Farrell
Superintendent
