Center High School in Antelope went into lockdown Friday after a bomb threat triggered a sizable response from law enforcement. Deputies were on campus and school officials confirmed the lockdown started at noon. Authorities have not said whether any device was found, and reporters at the scene described the situation as still unfolding.
According to KCRA 3 News, deputies were stationed at the school while crews searched the campus and information from officials remained limited. The outlet’s report, updated at about 1:16 p.m. PT on March 6, noted that it was still working to confirm details with authorities. Official statements will be added as they are released.
Where It Happened and How to Reach the School
According to Center High School, the campus is located at 3111 Center Court Lane in Antelope, and the front office can be reached at (916) 338-6420. The district posts safety procedures that include lockdowns and controlled dismissals in response to threats while investigators sweep buildings.
Local Context
Threat-related lockdowns have hit multiple schools across Sacramento County in recent years. As KCRA 3 News reported, Florin High School was locked down in October 2024 while deputies searched the campus and later carried out a controlled dismissal. Officials treat these calls as credible until searches clear the site, and bomb-squad or K-9 resources are sometimes brought in.
At the time of the initial report, officials had released only limited details and the response at Center High remained active. Families are advised to monitor district communications and local law enforcement channels for reunification plans and safety instructions. This story will be updated as authoritative information is released.
