It is with a heavy heart that we share the heartbreaking news that our beloved Daena Rios suddenly passed away on May 22nd.
Daena was a cherished member of our school community, and her warmth, kindness, and dedication touched the lives of so many. Her absence will be deeply felt by students, staff, and families alike.
