HCS utilizes a multi-layered approach to safety and security. Our safety strategy is one layer, along with well-trained school personnel. School Resource Officers are another layer of support. Additional layers include our anonymous tip line, “See Something, Say Something” at 770-220-7009, our emergency response system, and single-point entry at all schools and district offices. Each security layer works in tandem to ensure all HCS learning environments are safe and secure.
