PRINCETON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – Princeton High School will see an increased police presence today following an online threat made toward a different Princeton High School.
According to Mercer County Schools (MCS), late last night at 11:15 pm, Princeton High School’s principal, Ms. Zickafoose was alerted about a threat posted on social media.
Ms Zickafoose consulted with the MCS Safety Coordinator, Melissa Clemons, and state agencies.
After a thorough investigation, it was determined the threat was not towards PSHS.
The threat was directed towards PHHS, a school outside of West Virginia.
Out of an abundance of caution, there will be additional law enforcement present at Princeton High School today, according to Superintendent Edward Toman.
