Dear George Washington High School Families,
It is our priority to keep you informed of safety incidents that affect our campus.
This afternoon, we learned of gun activity and shots fired within the greater community. In particular, there was activity near two other high schools. In an abundance of caution, we immediately entered a LOCKOUT at GWHS. A LOCKOUT means our doors are shut, and no one may enter or leave our building. School business continued as usual inside our building. Shortly thereafter, we were cleared by Denver Police Department to leave LOCKOUT status, and student dismissal occurred as usual at 3:50pm.
Anyone with information about the incidents in the greater community is asked to call the Denver Police Department at 720-913-7867. If you or your child are aware of threats in the community or at school, you can report it to the school immediately or make an anonymous report at www.safe2tell.org, or call Safe 2 Tell at 1-877-542-7233.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to school leadership if you have any questions or concerns.
Respectfully,
Dr. Dackri Davis
Principal | George Washington High School
