At approximately 1:40 p.m. today Esperanza High School received information regarding a potential bomb threat. The campus was immediately secured and the police were called. Once it was determined to be safe, the students were evacuated to the field and released at the normal dismissal time. I am pleased to report that after a thorough search of the entire campus by the Anaheim Police Department, nothing was found. Our students and staff are to be commended for their outstanding response during the situation. School will resume tomorrow on a normal schedule.
Sincerely,
Dennis
