Pulaski county's sheriff department is on the scene and reports that the threat is minimal currently at MUSHS. Students will resume classes and proceed with lunch. However, we ask that no one come up to the school until we have the 100% all clear from PCSO.
Mills University Studies High is currently on lockdown due to a threat found on social media. Students and staff are in their safe designated areas. Because we are on lockdown, no one is allowed to come up to the building at this time. We are working with Pulaski County Sheriff's Department on the matter. We appreciate your patience, and cooperation.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation today. Pulaski County Sheriff Department has cleared the school for any threat at this time. Students have resumed to the regular bell schedule. Dismissal will occur at normal time.
