Media Information:

The St. Croix Central School District community is grieving the loss of two wonderful students. Erika Borgstrom, a sophomore, and Dakotah Coach, a senior, took their own lives early Tuesday morning, May 14, 2013. Both were excellent students and outstanding musicians. They will be missed greatly by all who knew them.

Our thoughts, prayers and support go out to their families, friends and the entire community during this very difficult time.

All of the students were given the sad news shortly after school began for the day. Counselors and members of the clergy were at school immediately and are available to meet with students and staff individually and in groups for the next few weeks as needed.

We ask that students, parents and community members keep a close eye out on how their family and friends are dealing with this and to please call the High School office (715 796-5383) with any concerns you might have for someone.

All school activities are continuing as scheduled.
