MCRPD also filed juvenile charges against a 13-year-old female student at Mifflin County Junior High School, who wrote messages and threats on the girls’ bathroom walls at the junior high school.

The School Resource Officers and administrative teams at both Mifflin County High School and Mifflin County Junior High School reviewed video surveillance and other evidence as well as conducted interviews with numerous students who used the bathrooms during the time frame when the messages were discovered.
