The division said in a Facebook post that the school had received a bomb threat around 10 a.m.
Police said officers were working to determine if the threat was real.
Police asked the public to stay away from the area and to not post police actions on social media.
“Please do not call either school or go to ELJHS. There is no one at LCHS to answer the phones since the school is evacuated and ELJHS phones need to remain open for emergency communication,” said the school division.
