Servite High School Lockdown Today: Authorities placed Servite High School on lockdown Thursday morning after reports that a shot had been fired in or near the school campus, according to law enforcement and school officials.
The situation unfolded just after classes began, prompting immediate safety protocols and a swift police response. Anaheim Police Department officers and Anaheim Fire & Rescue personnel arrived at the campus on West La Palma Avenue, where staff had activated the school’s security lockdown procedures.
Students and faculty were instructed to remain inside classrooms with doors secured while authorities canvassed the area and assessed the threat. Law enforcement did not immediately confirm the presence of a shooter on campus or whether any individuals were injured in the incident.
Officials have not released details about the person who reportedly fired the shot, including their identity or motives. Police are urging anyone with information to contact the Anaheim Police Department as the investigation continues.
Servite High School, a Roman Catholic preparatory school serving grades 9 through 12, has a longstanding reputation in the Orange County community. Administrators have said they are cooperating fully with law enforcement and that the welfare of students and staff remains the top priority.
Parents were notified through the school district’s emergency communication system, and reunification plans are being arranged as authorities work to secure the campus and provide updates.
