FAIRLESS HILLS, PA — A Pennsbury High School student may face charges after allegedly making a threat toward the general school population, officials said.

In an email to Pennsbury High School families, Schools Superintendent Thomas A. Smith and High School Campus Principal Reggie Meadows discussed the alleged threat, which was reported on Monday afternoon.
