Bomb Threat Evacuates Peters Township High School

Peters Township High School was evacuated for 15-20 minutes Wednesday morning after a student alerted the administration about a bomb threat written on a wall inside a student restroom.

"While this threat was general and did not appear credible, the district takes all safety matters very seriously and the building was placed in lockdown," stated Shelly Belcher, the district's spokesperson, in an email to parents.

The high school's officer, Peters Township police and Peters Township firefighters searched the building and found nothing.

Belcher said there will be an increase in security over the next few days and that the administration will continue to investigate teh origin of the threat.
