2016 Lockdown

[edit]

In 2016, College Heights, along with several other High Schools in Prince George were placed on lockdown after they were threatened on Instagram by a group called "Prince George Clowns". The situation was resolved when the two teenagers responsible for the post were arrested on October 6, 2016. Prince George RCMP Cpl. Craig Douglass stated that the police did not believe the threat was credible.[5]
