Hermann High School in Gasconade County was evacuated at 10:45 a.m. Thursday after the district received a threat, according to a social media post from the Gasconade County R-1 School District.
The district wrote it had “received a threat that required us to take immediate action to ensure the safety of our students and staff.” Local law enforcement and officers from the Capitol police determined it was safe to return to the building.
The district wrote that it was notified by state agencies earlier in the week that hoax threats have been targeting school and that “district should be on the lookout for them.”
Several schools around Mid-Missouri have seen threats made against them in the past month or so, including the Fayette R-3 School District, Lebanon High School in Laclede County, the Camdenton School District and the University of Missouri.
