Shortly after 10 a.m. on Monday, police said they were told that a threat had been made against the students and staff at the school.
Just after 11 a.m., police said all students had been evacuated from the school and are safe.
Two hours later, Hamilton police were on scene at Ancaster High School as a result of threats made towards staff and students.
In a message posted on the Ancaster high website, administrators called the incident a “bomb threat.”
Students were evacuated from the building and sent to the Morgan Firestone Arena and Ancaster Community Centre across the street.
About an hour later, police said the officers had given the all clear.
It’s unclear if the incidents could be connected, as Hamilton police said the investigations are still in the preliminary stage.
