Abstract
- The article presents the views of Tennessee-based St. Mary's Episcopal School's head Albert Throckmorton and director of communications Jennifer Parris, on how they navigated multiple tragedies at the school, including student and teacher deaths, and what they learned about community and a school's purpose during such crises. They emphasize the importance of honoring families' wishes, relying on strong counseling, chaplain programs, and sticking to the school's values.
