In Loving Memory of Andrey Gadson: A Cherished Member of Our Tiger Family
It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that we share the heartbreaking news of the tragic passing of one of our beloved Senior students, Andrey Gadson. A bright light in our halls, Andrey was more than just a student — he was a friend, a leader, and a source of positivity and pride for everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
This devastating loss has sent ripples of grief throughout our entire Tiger Family. The impact of Andrey’s presence in our school community is immeasurable. His infectious smile, kind spirit, and unwavering dedication to his peers and his future made him a standout both in and outside the classroom. His absence is deeply felt, and the sorrow that has settled over our campus is a reflection of how loved he truly was.
At this time, we ask with the utmost respect that the Gadson family’s wish for privacy be honored as they navigate this unimaginable pain. We understand the outpouring of support and concern from students, staff, and community members, and we thank you for surrounding Andrey’s family with compassion and quiet strength. Your prayers and acts of kindness are deeply appreciated and offer solace during this incredibly trying time.
Support for Our School Community
As we begin to process this tragedy together, we are committed to providing our students and staff with the emotional support they need. Grief counseling services will be available on campus beginning tomorrow, and we encourage anyone struggling to reach out. No one should grieve alone, and we are here to help one another through the healing process.
Additionally, out of an abundance of care and precaution, there will be an increased law enforcement presence on campus. Please know this measure is not related to any ongoing threat, but rather implemented as a way to ensure safety and peace of mind during a period of heightened emotion.
A Time to Reflect and Remember
In the days ahead, we will find ways to honor Andrey’s memory and celebrate the life he lived with such passion and promise. He touched many hearts in his time with us, and that legacy will continue to inspire.
For now, we ask for patience, compassion, and understanding as we move through this time of mourning. We are a strong and united community, and together we will carry Andrey’s spirit forward with dignity and love.
To our students, staff, and families — thank you for showing grace in grief, and for reminding us all of the power of unity in the face of sorrow.
Rest in peace, Andrey. You will forever be a part of the Tiger Family. 🧡
