It is with profound sadness that I share the heartbreaking news of the passing of our beloved high school principal, Dr. Max Petett, and his wife in a tragic accident this weekend. Our hearts are heavy with grief as we process this tremendous loss.
Dr. Petett was more than a leader, he was a mentor, a friend, and a champion for our students and staff. His dedication, kindness, and unwavering commitment to our school will never be forgotten.

Counselors will be available throughout the day for anyone who needs support, and we will provide spaces for quiet reflection and remembrance.
We will share details about memorial services and ways to honor Dr. Petett as they become available. In the meantime, please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. Let us lean on one another as we navigate the days ahead, honoring Dr. Petett by continuing the work he so passionately led.
