Campus Safety
Foremost among Cushing Academy's core values is the safety and well-being of our students.
Campus safety at Cushing includes five general categories:
- Human threats
- Fire and hazardous materials
- Severe weather
- Urgent medical
- Plant and property
To ensure that students, faculty, and staff are prepared to respond appropriately in an emergency, the school’s Campus Safety Team facilitates community training programs, conducts emergency drills and exercises, and regularly reviews our campus safety policies, procedures, and protocols.
In the event of an emergency, Cushing employs state-of-the-art communication systems, including web-based alerts and on-campus notifications, with the ability to reach all school constituencies in a timely manner.
In addition, the Campus Safety Team partners with several outside agencies and experts in the field of school safety. These include Allied Universal, Department of Homeland Security, the ALICE Training Institute, and the Ashburnham Police and Fire Departments.
