Active Shooter Drill at Washington High School on July 18th

Dear Campus Community,

Pierce County Emergency Management will conduct a training session at Washington High School on July 18, 2024, using the Tri-County Scenes of Violence curriculum.

Given the nature of the training, there will be periods when you may hear sounds of simulated gunfire and see an increased presence of law enforcement and emergency services personnel around Washington High School. We want to ensure that you know of  these activities to prevent unnecessary concerns. Reader board signs will be stationed on Tule Lake Road South to notify individuals of the training exercise in progress.

The schedule for July 18th is as follows:

• Morning Session (8:00 – 12:30 p.m.): Classroom instruction led by local subject matter experts.

• Afternoon Session (12:30 – 4:00 p.m.): Practical scenarios where participants will run through 2-3 drills within the high school, involving actors and training weapons with simulated gunfire.

Campus Safety uses the PLU Alert notification system to address safety concerns. For more details, visit the PLU Alerts page. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

In community,

José Curiel Morelos

Executive Director of Campus Safety & Emergency Management
