Social Media Threat made against Pickens High School

The School District of Pickens County (SDPC) has been made aware of a threat against Pickens High School that appears to have been made by a student on social media. This prompted Pickens High School to send this message to parents by phone and email. “We have been made aware of a threat against Pickens High School that appears to have been made by a student on social media. Law enforcement has informed us that they have the student in custody and we are clear to return to school Thursday. As an extra precaution, we have made arrangements with the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office and City of Pickens Police to ensure that the school has extra law enforcement protection Thursday morning.” The Pickens Police Department is handling the case.
