Today, a student made a threatening statement about causing harm to others. The student was immediately escorted to administration for investigation. We take incidents like this very seriously and work closely with local law enforcement to ensure a thorough investigation. We have implemented our safety protocols and there is no ongoing threat to our school community. We want to assure you that the safety and well-being of our students and staff is our top priority.
We understand that this news can be alarming. We will continue to reinforce with our students the importance of the words they say and would encourage you to continue to talk with your children about the importance of safety and the seriousness of making threating statements. It is essential that we endeavor to work together to continue to foster an environment where our students feel safe and supported. We continue to encourage and build a Bobcat Culture where we believe in students and teach them along with you to build each other up.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to school administration. We appreciate your understanding and support as we navigate this situation.

It was a beautiful day to visit the 7th grade pollinator garden. Students in Mrs. Durden’s science classes participated in the Great Southeast Pollinator Census today. Students visited the pollinator garden to make observations and collect data on our local pollinator populations to share with the University of Georgia. They observed, identified, and counted a variety of bees, butterflies, wasps and other insects as they landed on zinnias, blanketflower, and Biden’s alba in the garden. Our students were excited to participate in pollinator conservation!
We are thankful for Lowe's donating to maintain our pollinator garden.
Congratulations to our outstanding Bobcats who have gone above and beyond in demonstrating a positive Bobcat culture this week! 🐾
Your respect, responsibility, and readiness to learn are making a big difference in our school community. Keep up the amazing work—you're setting the standard for what it means to be a Bobcat! 💙💛
Way to go! 👏👏

School safety remains our highest priority. Families, we need your partnership in reminding and educating your children about the seriousness of making threats. What may seem like an innocent prank, or simply something said out of anger or frustration, can carry very serious consequences. Every threat, whether real or fake, demands an immediate law enforcement response, disrupts learning, and can result in life-changing legal prosecution.
We take EVERY threat seriously and will continue working closely with the St. Marys Police Department, Kingsland Police Department, and the Camden County Sheriff’s Office to ensure swift and decisive responses to all threats.
The safety of our students and staff will always be our top priority. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Protecting with Purpose,
Chief Kizzi Knight
