Authorities have not released additional details about the nature of the incident, citing the ongoing investigation. It remains unclear whether anyone was injured or if any arrests have been made.
School administrators later notified parents about the situation in an email sent Wednesday afternoon.
“At YES Prep, the safety of our students is our top priority,” Principal Zicuria Ussery wrote in the message to families. “We are aware of a reported incident at our campus and are actively working with authorities while following all applicable laws and policies.”
The email stated the campus is taking the allegations seriously and remains committed to the safety and well-being of students and staff.
Because the investigation is ongoing, school officials said they could not provide additional information at this time.
The school also announced an increased law enforcement presence on campus and said dismissal procedures would be staggered Wednesday afternoon to help maintain supervision and campus safety.
“We appreciate your cooperation and continued support as we work to ensure a safe environment for all students,” the message stated.
Houston police have not said what specifically prompted the response, and investigators have not released information about any potential suspects.
