Extra security is in place at a Port Huron high school after school officials discovered a hit list targeting black students.
The list of seven to nine students was found written on a bathroom wall at Port Huron Northern High School in Fort Gratiot Township a week ago, Port Huron Schools Superintendent H. Ronald Wollen said this morning.
The note said something would happen today, Wollen said.
“They didn’t really get specific,” Wollen said. “That’s why we’re going to have the police patrolling.”
District parents received a letter at home on Monday from Port Huron Northern Principal Chip Mossett alerting them to the threat.
