On Friday, Nov. 7 Lockhart K-8 School and Charlotte Amalie High School on St. Thomas were placed on lockdown after a call was received through 911, reporting a potential threat to the campuses. The schools immediately activated safety protocols, and students were evacuated to the designated staging areas to ensure their safety.

Following the evacuation, the Virgin Islands Police Department (VIPD) conducted a thorough search of the schools’ campuses, starting with Charlotte Amalie High School and then proceeding to Lockhart K-8 School. After completing their procedures, school officials received the “All Clear” from VIPD, confirming there were no active threats on either campus.

Students are safely back in the classroom and the schools have resumed normal operations.

This matter remains under investigation by the Virgin Islands Police Department and other law enforcement agencies.
