In the news

On February 14, 2007, at about 8:30 am, freshman Andrew Criswell entered the front office with a homemade bomb. [5] [6] [7] He held two people hostage in the front office, until one of them tricked him into looking the other way as they left through the back. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation, local police authorities, state police authorities, a SWAT team, and bomb squads came to JCCHS. After two hours of negotiations, Crisswell surrendered. The other 1,800 students and 250 faculty and staff evacuated to the Jefferson Civic Center. It was said that Crisswell was trying to make money for a relative's surgery. [8]

On March 29, 2017, an unidentified female teenager called the police to report that a gunman was in the building. This was a hoax and caused the school to be evacuated. The teenager was later identified by police, but not to the public, and was found to be attending East Jackson Comprehensive High School. [9]
