ST. CLAIRSVILLE – A bomb threat written on the wall of the girls bathroom at the St. Clairsville High School and Middle School lead to mass evacuation.

Superintendent Walter Skaggs said that he was made aware of the threat and investigated it. Once his staff discovered that it was in fact a bomb threat, a mass evacuation to the stadium was conducted.

After everyone was safely evacuated to the stadium the students were dismissed from there.

Skaggs said that local law enforcement swept the building with bomb dogs and found no bomb.

“We definitely don’t take it lightly. As soon as we were notified, we implemented the drills that we practice,” Skaggs said. “Obviously we’re going to investigate and hopefully we find out who did it and will prosecute them to the fullest.”
