Statesville High School Evacuated After Bomb Threat

February 16, 2026 By Richard C. Gilbert

This morning at approximately 8:00 a.m., a bomb threat was reported at Statesville High School. Out of an abundance of caution, both Crossroads Early College and Statesville High School were evacuated. The Statesville Police Department and Iredell County Sheriff’s Office have cleared the building. Both Statesville High School and Crossroads Early College will now run on a 2-hour delay schedule. If parents wish to pick up their students, they will need to come into the school to sign the student out. We appreciate the partnership of our law enforcement agencies. Iredell-Statesville Schools remains committed to the safety of our students and staff.
