San Antonio authorities have launched an investigation following the discovery of a deceased individual outside Thomas Jefferson High School on Friday morning.

According to the San Antonio Fire Department, emergency responders were called to the scene by the San Antonio Police Department (SAPD) after the body was found near the school premises. At this time, details regarding the circumstances surrounding the individual’s death remain scarce. MySA has reached out to both SAPD and the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) for further information.

SAPD officials have confirmed that the incident is an isolated case and does not involve any students or faculty members. The department is actively investigating the situation to determine the cause of death and any potential contributing factors.

In response to the event, Jefferson High School administration issued a statement to reassure parents and the school community. In a letter shared via social media, Principal Gregory Rivers assured families that neither students nor staff were in immediate danger.

“We want to make you aware that there was police activity on our property this morning for an incident unrelated to the school. Our students were safe at all times, and there was no threat to any student or staff member as a result of this incident. We took extra care to ensure students were not affected, and we also provided time for those who may have witnessed the ongoing activity to talk about it if they wished to do so. Student safety is a top priority at SAISD schools. We want to keep families informed of situations and the care we provide to our community as soon as we are able. We thank you for your support and understanding,” the letter stated.

Authorities are continuing their investigation and will provide updates as more details emerge. The community remains assured that safety measures are in place, and school operations are continuing as usual.
