Dear Families,
The Chisholm school district has become aware of a troubling post that is being shared this week on the social media platform TikTok. The post refers to a threat to school safety “for every school in the USA, even elementary,” on Friday, December 17. The post appears to be part of a national TikTok trend. While we do not believe the threat to be credible, we are closely monitoring the situation and taking it seriously.
This situation serves as a good example of why it is important to avoid sharing posts online that refer to school safety threats. Even if they are not credible threats, they can cause a great deal of stress and anxiety for our students, families, and staff. We ask our families to monitor their children’s social media activity and speak with them about proper behavior online.
If you or your child become aware of any potential threat posted to social media or anywhere else, please notify a school staff member or trusted adult right away.
As always, thank you for your partnership as we work to ensure a safe, secure, and positive learning environment for our students.
Sincerely,
Chad Broughton, Superintendent

Elizabeth Bain named 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program Semifinalist
Chisholm High School senior, Elizabeth Bain, has been named a semifinalists in the 2022 National Merit Scholarship Program.
Elizabeth has been identified by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation as a student who shows exceptional academic ability and potential for success in rigorous college studies, according to a news release issued by the organization.
There are about 16,000 semifinalists across the country being considered for the 67th annual scholarship program, which will award nearly $30 million to 7,500 high school seniors in the spring.
About 95 percent of the semifinalists are expected to reach the “finalist” category; half of those students will win a scholarship and the title of “Merit Scholar.”
The semifinalists entered the program when they were seniors by taking the 2020 preliminary SAT and National Merit qualifying test. The semifinalists are the highest-scoring entrants from each state.
Students who are named finalists will have worked with a high school official on a detailed scholarship application that includes details about their academic record, community and school involvement, leadership abilities, employment, and honors and awards.
The finalists must also be recommended by a high school official, write an essay, and earn SAT or ACT scores that confirm their performance on the qualifying test.
Finalists’ names will be announced in February followed by the winners’ name being released April through July.
