High School

For the past few days, the Miami-Dade Schools Police Department has been investigating threats - mostly on social media - involving several of our schools. At this time, none appear to be credible. A 15-year-old student has been arrested and is being charged with a felony count of written threats to kill or do bodily harm. He is alleged to have posted a threat involving Miami High that was then altered by other individuals and reposted on social media, affecting several other schools. Although these incidents appear to be unfounded, in an abundance of caution, there is additional police presence at several District schools. Any act that disrupts the educational environment, depletes police resources and causes unnecessary stress on students, families and employees will result in severe consequences. The investigation is ongoing.
