Dear Cross Creek Parents and Guardians,

It is with profound sadness that I write this letter to inform you that one of our teachers, Mr.
John Huffman, passed away Sunday morning. Our condolences and thoughts are with his family
and friends. As the Cross Creek High School community processes our loss and copes with
grief, there may be a level of anxiety and distress for some of our students. If your
student needs to speak to a counselor, grief counselors are onsite to assist and support our
school.

Death can be difficult and challenging. I know our Cross Creek students and staff will lean on
each other as we remember Mr. Huffman. Together, our staff will continue to embrace our
mission to contribute to our students’ social/emotional development and to always be
attentive to students’ and each other’s emotional needs. Today and always, we commit to
honor the legacy of Mr. Huffman to serve our students faithfully with vigor and a smile.

Sincerely,

Chris Hughes
Principal
Cross Creek High School
