Cannon County School System, working closely with the Cannon County
Sheriff's Department along with Homeland Security, investigated a possible online threat made
against Cannon County High School.
The administration became aware of a potential threat at roughly 6:30 a.m. and notified school officials and authorities.
Although the investigation is ongoing, it has been determined that the threat is not credible.
Currently, there are several social media posts circulating in our state regarding school threats.
We encourage students and parents to report credible information directly to local law
enforcement or through SafeTN.com.
We also ask parents to remind their students to be mindful of creating and sharing false information that may create disruption in the school setting.
It's important to note that any language or behavior that is found to threaten our schools will not be tolerated, and those found making threats will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Cannon County High School will be open tomorrow, and tonight's football game will be played
as scheduled.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
