Remembrance of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on February 14, 2018

Today, February 14, 2022, is the sixth anniversary of the horrific shootings that occurred at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. Fourteen young Floridians, our own students, and three school staff died. In addition, seventeen more people were wounded. This tragic event is imprinted in the minds and hearts of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, the city of Parkland, Broward County, the state of Florida, and our nation. 

I am proud of the work our Citrus County School Board has continually done to provide a safer environment for our students and staff. As school board members and as an organization, we know that the probability of increasing student achievement increases when the safety of students is everyone’s priority. A safe and secure learning environment is a vital component of students having access to quality primary and secondary education.

As we remember the day of February 14, 2018, we must continue to work together to provide a safe workplace for staff and a safe learning environment for all of our students. 

We will forever keep the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students, families, staff, city of Parkland, and the Broward County community in our minds and hearts and pray for their continued healing.
