I want our community to know that with the recent events and the senseless act of violence that occurred at Apalachee High School, I feel it is important to reassure our staff, students, families, and the Commerce Community as a whole that we are in constant contact with our local police, local sheriff, and state agencies when we receive any online threats. We have been aware of the many threats that cowards are making towards schools and students, and it is unacceptable. Although we have not found any of the threats credible, I do believe it is vital to our success to investigate each one fully to ensure our most precious resources safety in our buildings. I have requested an extra police presence the last few days, and I am grateful for acting Chief Hicks and his staff for providing many officers inside and outside our schools along with other emergency personnel. Safety is, and always will be, our top priority in Commerce City Schools. I appreciate the outpouring of support from our community, and I know that we will defeat evil by not allowing evil to dictate our focus. Have an amazing weekend and God Bless
Tiger Strong,
Billy Kirk, Superintendent
