Saugus High School was put on a “soft lockdown” Monday morning after a reported bomb threat, officials said.

UPDATE: 11:35 a.m. — Law enforcement and Saugus High School staff have determined the threat to be “non-credible,” according to a message sent to parents.

The soft lockdown has been lifted, and Saugus High is resuming normal operations.

The incident was reported Monday morning as a called-in threat to the Saugus High School campus on Centurion Drive, according to Dave Caldwell, spokesperson for the William S. Hart Union High School District.

“We received a phone call alleging a bomb threat in a specific area of the campus at Saugus High School,” Caldwell said in an email. “In an abundance of caution, site administration ordered an evacuation of a building and escorted students to another area of campus.”

The rest of the students have been asked to remain in their classrooms while law enforcement conducts a review of the situation, according to Caldwell.

“We are taking this step as a precaution to ensure law enforcement has the time to review the situation and give us the comfort to return to our normal course of classes,” Caldwell said. “We have welcomed additional law enforcement units onto campus to help expedite this review.”

An investigation is ongoing as of Monday morning, with no injuries reported, according to Sheriff’s officials.

If you see police activity at Saugus High School, everything is fine. Deputies are checking into a reported threat. Kids are currently on lockdown as a precaution while deputies investigate the threat. Students’ safety is our #1 priority. — SCV Sheriff (@SCVSHERIFF) March 9, 2020
