Holy Family Schools Practice Lock-down Drill – Dubuque, IA

Holy Family Schools – Dubuque, Iowa

Wednesday’s shooting at Fort Hood once again highlights the importance of preparing for the unthinkable. Last summer teachers at Holy Family Catholic Schools in Dubuque took part in ALICE training. ALICE stands for Alert, Lock-down, Inform, Counter and Evacuate. Law enforcement uses that method to train for situations like a gunman opening fire at a school.
