5/18/26 - 3:24 P.M. -- This afternoon, OSHS went into what OSSD refers to as a “Shelter-in-Place” for precautionary reasons due to a phone-in threat made to the campus. Administration immediately notified authorities, and OSSD PD, the Ocean Springs Police Department, and the Jackson County Sheriff's Department worked to secure and sweep the campus.
We are thankful to report that students and staff were not in danger at any point. While campus has been cleared by multiple law enforcement agencies, OSHS will remain in shelter-in-place until dismissal at 3:51 p.m. Checkouts are not permitted and visitors may not enter the building. Please expect delays during dismissal this afternoon.
We will provide updates as soon as they are available.
We thank you for your patience and understanding. Please know that the safety of our students is our #1 priority.
