We are saddened by the death of our colleague and friend, Michelle Lane, who passed away on April 19, 2024. She loved her students and enjoyed seeing former students and supported and cheered them on as they went through their high school years. She always enjoyed participating in school-wide activities that brought the staff and students laughter. She was always willing to dress up, dance, lip-sync, and celebrate Huguley students' successes. Her coworkers were her family. Please keep her family and friends in your prayers.
