CANYON, Texas (KFDA) - Canyon ISD officials say Canyon High School is all clear after a thorough investigation.

School officials say law enforcement authorities found there was no legitimacy to the bomb threat from this morning. The building and grounds have been cleared by multiple law enforcement agencies.

All students and faculty are safe.

Officials say students are resuming a normal schedule, including lunch.

Midway Alternative High School is no longer in secure mode.

Law enforcement arrived to Canyon High School around 10:30 a.m. and officials placed the school on lockdown while they investigated a bomb threat.

Law enforcement told school officials this may be a copycat situation related to yesterday’s incident at Amarillo High School.

Officials ask parents not to come to campus at this time or disrupt the learning environment.
