We are saddened to report the death of a Natalie Williams was a sophomore at Morrison High School. At this time, we have no information about funeral arrangements. We ask that you keep Natalie and her family in your thoughts today. Any student who feels that they need support and someone to talk with should tell their teacher immediately so they can arrange for you to go to the Guidance Office. We encourage all students to stay in school today so that our staff can support you.
