We regret to share that Lamar Young, Midtown’s most veteran school counselor, passed away unexpectedly.
All Midtown parents were informed of the loss in an email from APS Campus Messenger this afternoon.
“This is an awful loss for the whole school community as he touched thousands of lives in his school counseling career,” the message said. “We are all grieving during this difficult time.”
In the next few days, students and parents will receive information regarding the response and adjustment within the counseling center. The APS district support team will be on campus tomorrow to support any student or faculty in need.
The Southerner shares its condolences.
