Kids and employees are safely evacuated. Please be patient as we are doing all we can to ensure the campus is free from any danger before we allow anyone back into the school.”

Monroe County Sheriff’s Department reports there has been a bomb threat at Marathon High School. Students and employees of the school are being evacuated as a precautionary measure while deputies search the school and make sure all is safe. Students are fine, but if parents feel the need to come to the area, they should go to Kmart where they will receive regular updates on the situation. Parents will not be allowed to go to the school itself for security reasons.
