Officials say threat involving Whitehouse student was prank

Whitehouse police and school district officials determined a threat alleged to have been made by a student was not credible.

Late Sunday night, Whitehouse ISD officials learned of a social media post claiming a Whitehouse High School student had made a threat, according to a statement on the high school’s website.

“WISD officials, in coordination with the Whitehouse Police Department, quickly verified the post to be non-credible,” the statement read. “The post was determined to be a prank by a student not enrolled in WISD, in an attempt to bully that Whitehouse High School student.

“Whitehouse ISD believes everyone has the right to a safe and caring environment. The district is safe and secure and the high school will follow its regular schedule on Monday, August 26th.”
