All Clear Given After Delco High School Evacuation

A suburban Philadelphia high school evacuated students for hours today due to a bomb threat.

Strath Haven High School students were evacuated from their Providence Road high school in Wallingford, Pa. to nearby Strath Haven Middle School.

A post on the school’s website at 9:45 a.m. explained the move.

As a precautionary step, Strath Haven High School students and staff are being evacuated from the high school to the middle school. Police units are conducting a complete search of the high school to investigate a suspected bomb threat reported by a student to the administration. Upon completion of the police search, we expect the high school to return to a normal day. Further information will be provided as needed.

No injuries were reported.

As Skyforce10 hovered overhead a short time after the evacuation, you could see police cars on the scene and preparing to enter the building with K-9 officers.
