Press Release:
The Gateway Public Schools community is heartbroken to share the tragic news of the passing of one of our students, Jayda Mabrey, a 10th‑grade student at Gateway High School. Jayda was a cherished member of our school community—deeply loved by her peers, teachers, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her loss is felt profoundly across our campuses.
Gateway Public Schools is committed to supporting our students, staff, and families during this incredibly difficult time. Our community is wrapping ourselves in care and compassion as we grieve together.
We are in close contact with Jayda’s family and are offering them our full support. We are also providing resources and counseling for students and staff who may need additional care in the days and weeks ahead. The outpouring of support from our community partners has been deeply appreciated, and we are grateful for their continued presence as we navigate this tragedy.
Our hearts are with Jayda’s family, friends, and all who are mourning her loss. We ask for the community’s compassion and respect for the family’s privacy during this time.
