Olympia High School

Before school this morning, November 2, Olympia HS received a non-specific threatening telephone call. We alerted the Olympia Police Department, which directed us to go into a modified lockdown (we kept kids in the building with learning as usual and no travel between classes) until the police could investigate further. It was determined that the source of this non-specific threat is part of an ongoing case that the Olympia PD is currently investigating. The police determined this was a non-credible threat. As a cautionary measure, the police did an inspection of our school and determined that we are safe and back on our regular school day. Again, this threat is part of an ongoing investigation by the Olympia PD and other agencies of an individual from out-of-state. As an extra precautionary measure, we will continue to have Olympia PD on site throughout the day. As always, the safety of our students and staff is our top priority.

With the assistance of emergency lighting, we were able to operate school today. We have no estimated time-frame for when power to the building will be restored. Therefore, most after-school activities are canceled. Specifically, Drill, Band, Wrestling, and Boys and Girls Basketball are canceled. However, Drivers Education, Swimming, Bowling, and Gymnastics are all able to operate as scheduled.

The main phone line for Olympia High School is temporarily out of service. To reach the office, please dial (360) 596-7010. If you are calling to report an absence, please call the attendance line at (360) 596-7003.

The comment and appeal period has been extended for the Olympia High School construction project.

OHS girls and boys basketball games for December 20 have been canceled. Both games will be rescheduled.

The Olympia HS boys basketball game versus Battleground @ Mount Tahoma High School will begin at 6 p.m.. This game was previously scheduled to begin at 7:45 p.m..

UPDATE 1:09 p..m: Power, phone and internet service has been restored.

Graduation will be on June 27, 2020. We are planning a live graduation ceremony at St. Martin's Pavilion. The information gathered here will be used to plan a ceremony that will take place only if Thurston County is in Phase 3.

Olympia High School graduation is going to look a little (maybe a lot) different this year due to COVID-19 and social distancing guidelines, but we are still going to celebrate at St. Martin's University!
