The heartbreaking news of Brynn’s passing has deeply impacted our entire Boyle County community.

Over the past few days, we have been incredibly proud of the way our students and staff have come together in support of one another during this difficult time. Students have reached out to check on friends, gathered in prayer and remembrance, and surrounded Brynn’s family with love and support. Our staff has continued to support students, check in on colleagues, and help through these difficult days with compassion and care.

For those who wish to express their condolences or pay their respects, we are sharing the details for Brynn’s arrangements below.

Please remember, no student has to navigate grief alone. If any student is struggling, in need of additional support or simply needs someone to talk to, we are one phone call, email or message away.

Please continue to keep Brynn’s family, friends, and classmates in your thoughts and prayers in the days and weeks ahead.
