Today (4/20/22), the Cloquet High School received a bomb threat over the telephone. Cloquet High School and Cloquet Middle School were evacuated out of an abundance of caution. 

Staff moved students from the High School to St. Paul's Church. Families were notified, and the pickup of those students began. 

Staff moved students from the Middle School to the Journey Church, and pickup notifications have been sent to parents of those students. 

All after-school activities at both schools have been canceled. 

Upon notification, the Cloquet Police Department, along with our public safety partner, responded to the school to assist in the evacuation of the students. 

CPD requested the assistance of a bomb-sniffing dog from the Duluth Police Department. 

Currently, officers and canines are clearing the buildings to ensure both facilities are safe and secure. 

Once the buildings are cleared, we will send an update. 

We learned the threat was the identical message that the Esko High School received previously, and other schools in the state have received similar threats today. 

Even though it appears the threat is a recording and repetitious, public safety is taking the necessary steps to ensure the buildings are safe for their students and staff. 

If anyone has any information regarding the threat, you're asked to contact the Cloquet Police Department at 218.879.1247. Anyone with information can send tips via text/SMS by texting the words TIP CLOQUETPD followed by your message to 888777. You can remain anonymous.
