McDonald County School District mourns death of high school sophomore

(The following message was posted today on the McDonald County School District Facebook page following the death Tuesday of high school sophomore Landen Cates.) 

It is with deep sadness that we share the news that one of our McDonald County High School students passed away yesterday at home. Our hearts are with the family, friends, and all who are feeling the weight of this tragic loss.

We recognize that this news may be especially difficult for those who knew the student well. Please know that we are here to support our students through this challenging time. 








Counselors and trained staff have been available throughout the day and will be in the future to help any student who needs someone to talk to or who may be struggling with the emotions this news brings.

Out of respect for the family, we are not sharing additional details. We ask for your understanding and kindness as we all process this together. Please keep the family, our students, and our staff in your thoughts.
 
As a McDonald County family, we will support one another through this incredibly difficult time and continue to provide support for those in need.
