Ohio Hi-Point Career Center will conduct an active shooter drill on Thursday, Sept. 18, 2025, in coordination with the Logan County Emergency Management Agency, Logan County Sheriff’s Office, Bellefontaine Police Department, and Bellefontaine Fire and EMS.
The in-depth simulation will take place at the OHP high school building in Bellefontaine and is designed to test and strengthen the district’s emergency response protocols in the event of an active threat.
“This type of exercise helps us assess what we’re doing well and where we can improve as we keep student and staff safety as our first priority,” said Superintendent Dr. Rick Smith. “We’re incredibly grateful to our local emergency response partners for their collaboration and support.”
The drill will include participation from students and staff and is part of the district’s continued commitment to providing a safe and secure learning environment.
The district has created an emergency information page for families at ohiohipoint.com/emergency. Communication with families will be conducted through the district’s ParentSquare platform, with an alert sent at the start and end of the exercise.
