When I was in High School, way back when Pharaoh Horemheb was on the throne, if a child died his/her senior year he/she was remembered at graduation. Usually we had a chair reserved for that child and their cap/gown was folded neatly on it in remembrance and the child's diploma was given to the parents.
Now mind you this remembrance varied from school to school but the bottom line is the child was remembered and shown respect.

And very often, a page dedicated in the yearbook.

If we have a place called “St Jude’s Children’s Hospital” which is for cancer treatment then I figure we have a lot of kids lose their life to cancer.
cancer sucks.

That's terrible for a school to do that. Back in the old days (yeah, I know, people hate when I say that) anyone who died was remembered at graduation, a chair was reserved for them, and a special section in yearbook was reserved for them as well.
What that school did was totally heartless.

A classmate of mine in high school committed suicide the summer before our senior year.
He got a full page photo in the year book despite being a drug addled psychopath.

My God, those school administrators are CRUEL and HEARTLESS. How could they do that?
Your school did a wonderful job honoring the deceased student. I don’t recall any students dying during my high school career, but we did lose a fraternity brother in college in his sophomore year. That was the first young person I knew to pass. It was really sad, especially because he was on his honeymoon in Hawaii, dove into a shallow pool, and broke his neck.

Our graduating class lost 3 students from freshman to senior year.. Each had a photo in senior yearbook. One who died his senior year, in the winter was awarded a diploma, which was given to his parents.

That decision is both unnecessarily cruel to her family and just plain odd for a school to go out of their way to appear devoid of empathy. There must be a backstory, a subplot to that decision. The article never goes any deeper than a general reporting.

What’s wrong with people. Boy, are we messed up. A child died...

They’re indoctrinators, not actually interested in teaching our children valuable life skills, but more like how to be leftist foot soldiers.

They are a bunch of assholes just there to get a paycheck.
There I said it and would say it again.

The administrators should be ashamed of themselves. She worked hard to complete her requirements, just so she could something with her life, and that should be remembered.
