Evanston Township High School District 202 issued the following announcement on Aug. 20.
The Evanston Township High School family is deeply saddened by the loss of a member of our student body, Owen Lindsey, who passed away on August 13.
Many of our students and staff will have a difficult time dealing with the loss of a fellow Wildkit and may experience an array of emotions, including anxiety, sadness and anger. The ETHS Student Services Department will provide drop-in grief counseling between August 15-22 on weekdays, 8:00am-4:00pm. Students may come to the ETHS Social Work office (E123).
ETHS will follow its first day schedule on August 27, and we will offer supports to all students during the school day. More information will be shared with students as details become available.
A list of community resources, as well as hotlines and lifelines, are available on the ETHS website. http://www.eths.k12.il.us/Page/799
