Bathroom scrawl puts Archbishop Wood on alert

January 28, 2012

A threatening note scrawled on a bathroom wall at Archbishop Wood High School in Warminster prompted officials to search all students entering school Friday morning.

The note was found Thursday afternoon by a student, who reported it to administrators, according to Donna Farrell, a spokeswoman for the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. She would not specify what the note said. Parents were notified of the threat about 7 p.m. Thursday.

Police dogs scoured the school's halls and grounds but found nothing, Farrell said. Although the school was cleared of any threat Thursday night, administrators had all students arriving Friday morning pass through a single entrance and undergo a search. - Frank Kummer
