Prescott School District: October 21, 2026: A student at Prescott High School was taken into custody by the Prescott School District Police Department today on school grounds following an investigation that originated at a nearby school.
Because the safety and security of our student body and staff remain our highest priority, Prescott School District staff and law enforcement assessed the situation immediately. It was determined that there was no immediate threat to the campus due to the student being promptly apprehended and the school did not require a lockdown. There is no further danger to students or staff at this time.
Due to privacy laws regarding minors and the active status of the police investigation, the Prescott School District cannot release the name of the student or specify any criminal charges.
Thank you to the Nevada County Sheriff’s Department and Prescott Police Department for their assistance.
