Nogales High School

Good afternoon, NHS Parents and Guardians, Thank you for your understanding and cooperation this afternoon as the district, site administration, and the Nogales Police Department collaborated to investigate the threat received earlier today. This email serves to inform you that the threat has been deemed not credible, and a suspect is currently in custody. We will proceed with regular dismissal at 2 pm. Cars will be permitted on campus at 2:30 pm for student pick-up, following the established normal dismissal protocol once buses have departed. Sincerely, Renee Travers Principal

Good Afternoon NHS Parents and Guardians-- We received an electronic threat and, out of an abundance of caution, placed the school on lockdown. Nogales Police Department officers are on scene investigating the threat. All students are safe, but while officers investigate, the campus will be closed and visitors will not be permitted on campus. We will provide another update to you as more information becomes available, and we appreciate your cooperation and support. Thank you, Renee Travers, NHS Principal

You make multitasking seem so easy, and we're grateful to have you as part of our Apache Family! Wishing a joyful Admin Day to all our amazing administrative professionals on campus. We feel incredibly lucky to have our "Dream Team"!

She is a strong leader—empathetic, resilient, and adaptable—who fosters trust and collaboration within her community.
