Dear Piedra Vista Family,
Our school community is deeply saddened by the passing of a giant among us, Coach Jeff Kiraly. Coach Kiraly's impact on our students, staff, and broader community was immeasurable, and his loss will be felt for a long time to come. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, students, colleagues, and friends during this difficult time.
We are sharing this news ahead of our return to school so that our community has time to process before students and staff are back together in the building.
Grief affects everyone differently, and there is no right or wrong way to feel right now. To support our staff and students through this loss, members of our counseling team will be available all week to meet individually or in small groups, both in scheduled sessions and on a drop-in basis, for anyone who needs a space to talk, ask questions, or simply be with others who understand.
In the coming days, we will continue to check in with students and staff, and we will share additional information as needed. Please know that our entire school family, teachers, counselors, and administrators, is here for you and your children during this time.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to our staff.
With deepest sympathy,
Piedra Vista High School
