On Fri., Apr. 3rd, junior Evan Barnes passed away following a car accident, in which he wasn’t wearing a seatbelt. 

Classmates and teachers honored him and his family by having a Candlelight Vigil on Sat., Apr. 4 at 9 p.m.. Due to the current circumstances from the coronavirus, those who participated lit a candle on their front porch and Evan’s family drove through the neighborhoods to see them.

Members of the high school staff created a Flipgrid (online video sharing service) for students and teachers to share memories or well wishes (to access click here).
