Neuse Charter School, located in Johnston County, North Carolina, began the 2022-2023 school year with a powerful new ally in order to ensure the protection of its students and staff. This occurred in an era in which school safety is of the utmost importance. On Monday, August 8th, the school made a proud announcement regarding the installation of the RhinoWare® Door Lockdown System.
This cutting-edge security measure is designed to provide a robust defense against potential threats, particularly in situations where there is an active shooter. Neuse Charter School, which is the only K-12 charter school in Johnston County that is independently operated, has always placed a high priority on safety as a fundamental component of its mission to establish a learning environment that is positive, secure, and innovative for both its students and its teachers.
Neuse Charter School was established in 2007, and since then, it has expanded to accommodate more than 900 students studying in grades ranging from kindergarten to twelfth. Dr. Melissa Blackwell, the Superintendent of the institution, has stated unequivocally that school safety has been an essential component of the institution’s philosophy ever since it was founded. “Neuse Charter School has been fully committed to providing a positive, safe, and creative learning environment ever since the school was chartered in 2007,” Dr. Blackwell emphasized.
“This commitment has been in place since the school inception.” It is a testament to Neuse Charter School’s unwavering commitment to ensuring the safety of its staff, parents, and students that the RhinoWare Door Lockdown System was installed. This installation also marks a significant step forward in the process of fulfilling this essential mission.
RhinoWare, a leading provider of advanced lockdown protection systems, has been at the forefront of the fight to protect educational institutions and organizations since the year 2013. Their cutting-edge security solutions have been implemented in thousands of schools across the country, as well as on corporate campuses and military installations all over the world.
With clients such as the United Nations, Fort Knox, and numerous airports across the United States, RhinoWare has established itself as a reliable name in the industry thanks to its remarkable track record of providing security services.
The RhinoWare version 4 system, which has recently been installed at Neuse Charter School, includes a variety of cutting-edge features that are intended to improve the school’s safety and protective measures. The capability of this technology to activate and exit with a single motion is one of the unique features that sets it apart from other similar technologies.
