No Guns in School Campaign

  • The No Guns in School campaign specifically targets guns and mobilizes students, parents, and the community to partner with the district to achieve one goal - No Guns in School. Did you know that a student who brings a gun to school will be suspended for up to 180 days? Additionally, barring extenuating circumstances, the student will be expelled, which means they will not be able to attend any public school in the state of Missouri.

    The key to achieving the campaign goal is participation from all stakeholders. The information below explains specific ways each stakeholder group can support the campaign.

    • If you become aware of anything that threatens the safety of our learning community, immediately alert an administrator or file a report through the anonymous HSD Safety Tip Line.
    • Hold your peers accountable by reminding them about the consequences of bringing a gun to school.
    • Promote the campaign amongst your peers.
