A student at Dunwoody High School dies on campus during the school day on May 6,
2024.  (FOX 5)

DUNWOODY, Ga. - The Dunwoody High School community is mourning following the
death of a 15-year-old girl on the campus on Monday.

The school sent home a letter to parents and guardians on Monday afternoon.
Dunwoody High School Principal Tom Bass wrote that the school was placed on a
lockdown during the incident to help restrict movement and allow emergency
workers quicker access. 





The school will be bringing in grief counselors for faculty and students who may
need help during this time. 

The name of the child was not released, but DeKalb Fire Rescue officials say she
was 15 years old.



While the official cause of death has not been released, firefighters say she
suffered cardiac arrest.

The full letter reads: 

"It is with a heavy heart that I inform you of the tragic loss of a student
today following a medical emergency while at school. We will not disclose
additional information about the circumstances surrounding this student’s
passing out of respect for the family's privacy. 

"The incident occurred as many students were testing. After the medical
emergency, the school was put on lockdown to limit movement within the
building. 

"We understand the gravity of the situation and have shared the news with our
students, teachers, and staff this afternoon. We are providing the necessary
resources and personnel to assist the staff with grief counseling and are here
to offer support to anyone affected by this tragedy. 

"Starting tomorrow morning, students will be able to meet with our District
Crisis Team members, including school counselors, psychologists, and additional
staff. The team will remain on-site to provide support as long as they are
needed. 

"Everyone reacts to death differently. Our priority is respecting each other's
feelings and emotions. As a family, we encourage you to talk with your child
about this incident to help them share their thoughts and reactions. 

"The Dunwoody High School community is here to support and uplift in any way we
can. If you need additional assistance from our administrative or school
counseling team, please contact us at 678 874-8502. 

"Our deepest sympathies remain with the student’s loved ones during this
challenging period. "
