FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
On November 18, 2013, Sterling High
School officials notified the Sterling Police Department that a
student had observed the word "bomb" written on the stall
of a student bathroom and reported this information to a teacher.
The Sterling Police Department
responded immediately and in conjunction with the school assessed the
suspicious incident.
During the lunch period, the Wally Post
Gymnasium was searched and nothing suspicious was located. After
lunch, all students were moved to the Wally Post Gymnasium, while the
remainder of the building was searched. Again, nothing suspicious
was located.

threat to the school. The searches were conducted out of an
abundance of caution for the safety of all students and staff of

its role in protecting life and property, as well as investigating
