    EPPD deems threats sent to EP High School ‘non-credible’

    Juliana AllenBy Juliana AllenMarch 9, 2024Updated:October 3, 20242 Mins Read

    Following anonymous threats sent on Saturday, March 9, to several metro-area schools, Eden Prairie High School (EPHS) families were assured that the threats sent to EPHS had been deemed not credible.

    “Throughout the metro this morning, schools, including EPHS, received threatening emails that did not name a specific school or district,” Principal Nate Gibbs said in an email to families. Superintendent Josh Swanson also emailed Eden Prairie Schools families with a similar message.

    “Our staff, in collaboration with the Eden Prairie Police Department (EPPD), immediately investigated the threat to our school and ensured the threat is non-credible and our facilities are secure,” Gibbs said.

    He added that there would be increased police presence at the school throughout the weekend and on Monday as a precautionary measure.
     
    “Student and staff safety is our first priority, and we take threats extremely seriously,” Gibbs said. “In the coming days, if you become aware of concerning behavior or threats in digital spaces like social media, emails, or group chats, please share that information with one of your student’s teachers or a member of our school leadership team.”
     
    Gibbs thanked EPPD for their “quick action and support” and encouraged anyone with questions or concerns to reach out. Gibbs also recommended families refer to an email sent out earlier this year explaining how the school district handles threats.
