Please Click Link for information about a CWCHS school incident and subsequent investigation.

Ensuring the safety of our students, staff, and community is our top priority.  After school on Tuesday, April 7th, graffiti was found in a restroom at Carmi-White County High School that discussed a possible future threat of violence against Carmi-White County High School.  This possible threat of violence was reported to the Administration and the School Resource Officer. Carmi-White County CUSD #5 has been working closely with law enforcement to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and community. After a thorough investigation into a potential threat, law enforcement has confirmed there is no active threat, allowing us to proceed with regular school activities tomorrow. To enhance safety and provide peace of mind, there will be an increased law enforcement presence and additional security measures implemented during school activities. We appreciate everyone’s support to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and community.
