I am writing tonight to let you know that the Bowling Green High School Administration and Bowling Green Police Department have responded to the report of a threat to BGHS for tomorrow, September 5, 2023. We are limited in what we can share about the situation, however, we can share that the student who allegedly made the threat will not be present at school.

We received calls and reports through the Safe Schools Tip Line and immediately contacted BGPD. The safety of our students and staff is our highest priority and we take all threats seriously. It is important that any suspicious or threatening behavior be reported to an authority figure to be investigated immediately.

Thank you,
