Principal Leah Vomhof sent an email last night to parents announcing the unexpected death of senior Averee Kyle.

Teachers read the following to students at the beginning of second hour today: I have some difficult news to share with you that some of you may already know. We were deeply saddened to learn last night about the death of senior Averee Kyle. We have support available in the library if you would like to talk with someone. We know this is a sad time for the family, friends and classmates of Averee. 

Counselors were available all day for students and faculty and district personnel were present to assist.

In a follow-up email sent to parents this afternoon, Vomhof said additional counseling support would be available in the coming days. Vomhof said students can reach out to the school counselors located in the Student Service Office.

The National Suicide Prevention (988) Lifeline is available 24/7 by calling or texting 988. 

We will add to this story as more information becomes available.
