NOBLESVILLE, Ind. (WISH) — Classes at all Noblesville Schools on Tuesday were canceled after threats toward a middle school were made on social media.

Daniel Hile, superintendent of Noblesville Schools, said early Tuesday morning law enforcement officers notified the school of a threat made on social media toward East Middle School.

School officials say they do not believe the threat is credible, but are also taking the threat very seriously.

Hile said that all school classes will be canceled out of “an overabundance of caution.” It will not be an e-learning day.

“Our team will spend today continuing to work with our law enforcement partners and other appropriate agencies to further investigate this threat, and also ensure the continued safety of every one of our schools,” Hile said.

Hile mentions that safety is the school’s top priority. It has been just over six years since a 13-year-old student at Noblesville West Middle School shot and injured another student and a teacher. The student, now 19, was released from Hamilton County Juvenile Center in October 2023.

Full statement from Noblesville Schools

In the middle of the night, we were made aware by law enforcement of an anonymous video posted to social media that made a threat of violence towards East Middle School. Our team has been working on this situation over the past few hours. While we do not have any reason to believe that the threat is credible at this time, we also take every threat seriously. At Noblesville Schools, safety is our top priority, and we are committed to taking appropriate action to protect the health and wellbeing of the students, staff, and community that we serve. 

For that reason, and out of an overabundance of caution, I am cancelling school today, Tuesday, November 26th, for all schools. This will not be an e-learning day. Our team will spend today continuing to work with our law enforcement partners and other appropriate agencies to further investigate this threat, and also ensure the continued safety of every one of our schools. 

I greatly appreciate your understanding and support as we continue working hard to keep our schools, staff, and children safe. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. 

Thank you.

Noblesville Schools Superintendent Daniel Hile
