"We were made aware that a threat has been made against our school. HISD police responded immediately. Though we do not believe the threat is credible, we assure you that we take all threats seriously as the safety of our students and staff is always our top priority."



HISD officials said it was a verbal threat made over the phone. No gun or weapon was involved.

Last week, a student at Clear Brook High School was arrested just before 9 a.m. after Clear Creek ISD said the student had an unloaded weapon on campus.
