Good Evening Monroe Public Schools Family,

This evening we have received reports of a threatening post circulating on social media. We have learned that school districts throughout many states that have schools with the initials “MHS” are experiencing similar reports. At this time, the origin of the photograph has been traced to a school district out of Michigan. Law enforcement officials in that area are aware of this photograph and are currently investigating the matter.

We were made aware of this post by a number of concerned members of our Monroe Public Schools community. We have been in contact with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department and learned that local law enforcement has also received multiple reports regarding this same social media post. We cannot express enough gratitude to our Monroe students, staff, and families. Your vigilant watch and reporting is so important in keeping our school community safe. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority.

Local law enforcement assures us that they will continue to monitor the situation. From this point, all indications are that this social media post is regarding an out-of-state school and the law enforcement officials in that area are addressing the matter.

As a point of reassurance and cooperation, our partners at the Monroe County Sheriff’s Department will have a presence at our high school tomorrow . If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us or local law enforcement.

Together, we are stronger. Together, we are Monroe!

As always,

Julie M. Everly,

Superintendent
