Dear Abington School Community,
 
It is with the deepest regret that I need to inform you that last night a tragic accident resulted in the death of our Abington High School Senior, Katelyn McCarthy.  
 
Today and tomorrow between 12PM and 3PM members of our Crisis Intervention Team and counselors will be available at Abington High School for any student who may want to speak with someone surrounding this loss. We will also have counselors available when students return to school on Monday and throughout the coming days and weeks.  
 
Information that may be useful to you in helping at home can be found below.

Words cannot express our heartfelt sadness for all members of the Abington community during this difficult time. We are here to help our students and the community in any way possible.  
 
Sincerely, 
 
 
Peter Schafer, Superintendent of Schools
