Concord, N.H. – Bishop Brady High School announced Tuesday that it would cancel all classes after receiving a report of a student threatening harm to another student and the broader school community the night before. The school issued a brief statement confirming the decision and noting that the student who made the threat is no longer enrolled.
School response and safety measures
The administration acted quickly to protect students, staff, and families while law‑enforcement agencies conduct a thorough investigation. “Bishop Brady High School canceled school today due to a student threatening harm to another student and the school community last night,” the statement read. “The student who made the threat is no longer enrolled at the school.”
School officials emphasized that the safety of the campus remains the top priority. They are working closely with the Concord Police Department, which was alerted to the threat on Monday night, as well as the Belmont and Northfield police departments that have joined the investigation.
Police investigation
Police have indicated that there is no current threat to the public and that the investigation is ongoing. Details about the nature of the threat, how it was communicated, or its credibility have not been released. Authorities have asked anyone with information to contact the Concord Regional Crime Line at 603‑226‑3100.
While the investigation proceeds, the school district is reviewing its safety protocols and communication procedures to ensure that any future incidents are addressed promptly and transparently.
Impact on students and families
Parents and students expressed concern over the disruption, but many praised the school’s swift action to prioritize safety. Local community leaders reiterated the importance of maintaining a secure learning environment and encouraged families to stay informed through official school channels.
The cancellation of classes affects roughly 1,200 students across the high school, with many families adjusting work schedules and childcare plans. The district is exploring options for remote learning or make‑up days should the investigation extend beyond Tuesday.
Next steps
School officials will provide updates as more information becomes available. The district plans to hold a town‑hall meeting later this week to address community questions and outline any additional safety measures.
In the meantime, the Concord Police Department continues to monitor the situation and urges anyone with relevant information to come forward.
