Forest Municipal School District extends its deepest condolences to the family, friends, classmates, coaches and teachers of Brystol Marie Johnson, a beloved student of Forest High School who passed away over the weekend.
During this difficult time, we join together as a school community to honor her life and to support all who are grieving this heartbreaking loss. Counselors are available at Forest High School to provide comfort and support to students and staff who may need someone to talk to as they process this tragedy.
We ask the Bearcat community to keep the family uplifted in your thoughts and prayers in the days ahead.
May we all find strength, hope, and comfort together.
Come out, be LOUD, and show your BEARCAT PRIDE as we cheer them on to victory!
