Dixon High School is having to renovate the area directly in front of Lancaster Gymnasium. The current planter area is unstable and unsafe. The engraved capstones have been removed. If you purchased a capstone and would like to keep it, please contact Kevin Schultz at (815) 373-4966 ext. 5122. The capstones have been removed, and Kevin can set up a time for you to pick up your personalized stone. Capstones will be available for pick-up through Tuesday, November 26, 2024. The commemorative stone from the Classes of 2002 and 2003 will be moved to the grassy area to the left of the Lancaster Gymnasium doors. Landscaping will be added in the spring to highlight this area.

On October 3rd, 2024 at approximately 7:41 a.m., the Reagan Middle School and Madison Elementary School received a telephone call from an individual that sounded like a young male that stated, “Get ready for a school shootout today, bye.” The staff was alerted to who the possible individual was that made the telephone call. At that time, the School Resource Officer along with Reagan Middle School Administration began conducting an investigating into the threat that was made.
At approximately 7:44 a.m., the school resource officer and staff identified the individual that made the call and threat, which was a Madison Elementary School student. Through the course of the investigation, two other students were identified as possibly being involved in the telephone call that was made to the school. There were no weapons located on the individuals involved in this situation or at the school. While speaking with these individuals in regards to why the telephone call was made, we were informed, “They were just joking,” when they made the telephone call.
With any comment(s) or threat, the safety and security of our students and staff is our utmost priority and we take any threats with the utmost seriousness. We will continue working with the Dixon Public Schools Administration, along with the Lee County State’s Attorney’s Office regarding this incident. We would like to take this opportunity to thank those individuals that came forward with the information in regards to who the possible individual(s) were that made the threating telephone call to the school.
This is an ongoing investigation. Anyone with any information is encouraged to contact the Dixon Police Department at (815) 288-4411.
Please save the list of numbers below if you need to make a phone call to one of our schools!
