It is a special community that can come together to lift each other up in a time of need. While we move forward together, it is important to remember the grieving process is different for all of us, and it will continue to take time. Support is available in all schools if it is needed in the future. Contact the main office of your child’s school if you feel you need additional support. We ask that you continue to keep the Witter family in your thoughts and prayers. | #Driven Thank you to our Alumni panel ( Alina Mueller Class of 2017, and Nai Kavanaugh, Katie Hart and Kathryn Syracuse(Liebert) Class of 2010) for coming in and sharing your experiences about life after high school with our senior class during College and Career week.
