Garden City High School received a phone call at approximately 12:40pm today indicating there was a bomb at the school. First responders were notified and the school was evacuated for the safety of students and staff. The building was searched and the threat was deemed unsubstantiated.

We encourage you to have your child report information about any school safety related incidents to administrators or staff. As always, the primary goal of Garden City Public Schools is to provide a safe and positive learning environment for both students and staff.
