A bomb threat caused an evacuation of Huron High School in New Boston on Friday morning.

According to a statement from Donovan Rowe, superintendent of Huron School District, prior to the start of the school day Friday, a teacher at the high school received a bomb threat that caused concern.

Rowe said administrators immediately contacted Huron Township police, and emergency protocols were implemented.

The building was placed into a secure mode, and law enforcement and administrators searched the premises, Rowe said.

“Due to the nature of the threat, and out of an abundance of caution, the high school staff and students engaged in a controlled evacuation, moving students and staff to an alternate location. We are continuing to follow all of our safety protocols closely, while working with the HTPD to ensure student safety. All staff and students are safe and secure, and there is no active concern at this time. Thank you for your patience and understanding related to this matter. More information will follow as the situation develops,” Rowe said.

Huron Township police said in a Facebook post that a K-9 unit is on scene, as well as Huron Township fire units.
