District and School Safety

The health and safety of our students, staff, and the entire community will always be a top priority in Lake Havasu Unified School District.

LHUSD school personnel will nurture and treat each student with respect by maintaining a safe and positive learning environment. This is reinforced in our district mindset of “Every Student. Every Day. Whatever It Takes”. We are committed to creating a safe and secure learning environment for all students.

Our Director of Student Services, Jon Moss, serves as the district safety coordinator. He is responsible for researching, designing, and implementing a comprehensive district security and safety program and maintaining district emergency plans and preparations as well as crisis response and recovery plans, among other duties.

To help ensure the safety and security of our school communities, we recognize the importance of continually:

  • collaborating with emergency management officials to ensure best practices are implemented for school safety;

  • regularly practicing various aspects of our school safety program;

  • reviewing and evaluating the district's comprehensive safety plan;

  • and providing professional learning on safety for staff at all levels.

If you are interested in supporting or being a part of the safety programs within LHUSD, please contact Mr. Moss.
