Dear GCR-1 Families,
I want to make you aware of a situation that occurred today at Hermann High School involving a threat. At approximately 10:45 a.m., the district received a threat that required us to take immediate action to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
Earlier this week, we were notified by state agencies that hoax threats were circulating and that schools should be on the lookout for them in the coming days and weeks. This information was shared with building-level administration. When the threat was received, we immediately began implementing our established safety protocols and engaged with local law enforcement.
Students at Hermann High School were evacuated, and the campus was closed. With the support of local law enforcement and officers from the Capitol Police, we were able to determine that it was safe to return to the building.
Classes resumed as normal, and students continued on their regular schedule. Additionally, counseling and support services will be available for any students who may need them.
Staff and student safety are our top priorities at Gasconade County R-1. We are fortunate to have the support of the Hermann Police Department, the Gasconade County Sheriff’s Department, and the Capitol Police.
Today was, and may continue to be, a scary and potentially traumatic experience for students and staff. If your student needs assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to building-level counselors or administration.
If you have any questions about today’s incident, please do not hesitate to contact me at 573-486-2116 ext. 1300.
Thank you for your cooperation, understanding, and continued support as we work together to maintain a safe learning environment for all students.
Sincerely,
Dr. Geoff Neill
Superintendent
Gasconade County R-1 School District

Congratulations to Nolan Kopp for being named a St. Louis Post-Dispatch Scholar Athlete.
Nolan plans to attend The University of Tennessee-Knoxville and major in nuclear engineering and materials science.
HMS 8th graders enjoyed their trip to the Cardinals game yesterday afternoon. Although the Cardinals didn't bring home a win, our students had a ton of fun!
Big excitement at GCR-1 Elementary today! 🎉🐾✨
Our 3rd graders worked hard during the testing season and celebrated in the BEST way possible… by "pie-facing" Mrs. Brune! 😂 What a fun reward for all of their effort and determination!
And our daycare students were treated to something extra special thanks to our amazing daycare provider, who created this incredible “El Toro Loco” monster truck completely by hand! The creativity, detail, and excitement it brought to our little learners was absolutely unforgettable. 🔥
We love seeing our students encouraged, celebrated, and surrounded by staff who make learning FUN every single day! 💙🤍
