Earlier this afternoon an arrest was made in the case of the threats being made toward our school district. I want to thank the Lawrence County Sheriff’s office for their diligence in working with our team very closely to get to the bottom of this matter. And to the community, thank you for your very trying patience, understandably. This has not been easy for any of us. Your child’s safety will always be at the forefront of what we do here at Rock Hill.
Sincerely,

Collins Career Center students will remain at the Career Center until the end of the school day and will be brought home at that time. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Picture retakes will be on Thursday, December 1, 2022 for any student in grades K through 5 and Pre school students. If you wish to have pictures retaken please send in the original pictures on that day. If your child was absent on picture day they can have pictures taken on this day also.

As you are most likely aware, today, there were additional threats made online towards the Rock Hill community. Our team has been working diligently with the Lawrence County Sherriff’s Department to identify the individual or individuals responsible for these threats. Through this collaborative effort, the decision was made to place the high school in a “soft lockdown.” This decision was not made lightly and it was what we felt was the appropriate action given the information before us. Our district will use every resource available to us, to identify the individual or individuals responsible for these threats. No stone will go unturned in order to bring justice to this individual or individuals.
If any student or community member has any relevant information regarding these threats, please contact the Rock Hill Board of Education office or the Lawrence County Sherriff’s Department. Thank you.
Mr. Hopper
