As a community, we also want to take a moment to recognize a very difficult loss for the Kaffie family. We send our deepest condolences to the Hernandez family on the passing of their son, Coach Leyton Hernandez. Coach Hernandez was a proud Kaffie alumnus and former Kaffie Middle School teacher, and he made a lasting impact on many students and colleagues. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hernandez family during this incredibly difficult time

It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Coach Leyton Hernandez.
Coach Hernandez was a mentor, leader, and was loved by his players and fellow coaches.
