Parents,

We are excited to announce a new security measure at our school called Evolv.  Evolv is a safe, non-invasive system that uses sensors and AI analysis to detect prohibited items on persons entering our school building, informing school officials and SROs so they can quickly intervene.  This process occurs quickly, discreetly, and with little interruption to entering foot traffic as students, staff, parents, and visitors enter the school building.  

We ask that you bear with us as we train students and staff on proper procedures for this equipment to reduce false alerts and streamline flow.  If you have been to Dollywood, Thompson-Boling Arena, or Neyland Stadium in the last couple of years, you have already seen and experienced the Evolv system in action.  We believe this demonstrates the potential for Evolv to be an efficient and trustworthy tool.  We are hopeful that employing Evolv at our school will help us provide a safer environment for our students while offering you as parents some additional peace of mind.  Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Greg Haggard

Principal, Seymour High School
