Tomorrow, additional support staff members will be available at TL Hanna to assist students and staff in processing the tragic event that occurred today.
Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Please take a moment to remember why we are in the roles that we are, and please keep Evan, his family, and the TLH students, professors, and staff in mind as you go about your day tomorrow.
