Message from Hopkinton HS Principal, Evan Bishop Regarding Threatening Clowns

Dear students and parents,

I am writing to address the concerns recently raised in the media regarding threatening clowns. We take these concerns very seriously as the health and safety of our students is always our first priority. We will work closely with the Hopkinton Police Department to assess the credibility of any threats and related risks to our students and our community.

There have been no confirmed clown sightings on campus or in the community. The threats reported in the media have been generic in nature and not specific to our community. Therefore, we do not believe the clown activity reported in the news poses a credible threat to our students. If you see anything that concerns you, however, please do not hesitate to speak with Officer Powers or any adult at Hopkinton High School.

For the safety of everyone at Hopkinton High School, no one is permitted on campus at any time wearing a clown costume or a mask of any kind. As Spirit Week & Halloween approach, we expect everyone to be respectful of others and refrain from wearing clown costumes or anything that obscures your face.

Thank you for your help keeping our community safe.

Sincerely,
Evan Bishop
Principal
