CENTRALIA — Centralia High School was briefly placed on lockdown Wednesday after a brief threat had been made.

According to Superintendent Chuck Lane, around 10:50 Wednesday morning, a teacher informed the school administration of a vague threat made against the high school.

The school was immediately placed on lockdown and the Centralia Police Department was contacted.
