Deer Valley and Antioch high schools were targeted in the threats, as was Black Diamond Middle School.
Deer Valley High received threats every day this week, and classes were repeatedly disrupted as students and staff were evacuated.
Thursday morning, three threats were called in. The first, at 7:43 a.m., came from someone who stated there was a bomb at Black Diamond Middle School, police said.
The other two calls, made at 9:39 a.m. and 10:50 a.m., focused on Deer Valley High.
