Dear Parents,
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas with your family. Sadly, there have been tragic events with district families this past week. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Nick Koch, a graduate of Central High School and talented high school athlete, had returned to us this fall serving as our athletic trainer for Central High School and Nash Middle School. Nick is survived by his wife, Jenna Felesena Koch, and three beautiful children. The family requested for Nick's services to be held at Central High School.
To accommodate, there will not be school or remote instruction provided in all of our schools on January 6. This will also allow staff and students the opportunity to attend the services. We will have a normal school day on January 5. School will resume on January 7.
Thank you for your cooperation as we help the family during their time of loss. Please also keep Tyler Bailey, a former CHS graduate, in your thoughts and prayers as he was one of the officers shot in the line of duty on Wednesday.
Sincerely,
Tonya Evans
As a district, we are deeply saddened to hear of the loss of our athletic trainer for Central High School, Nick Koch.
Nick was a former student and talented athlete at Central High School and we were happy to have him return home this fall as our athletic trainer. He will be greatly missed!
Please keep his wife Jenna and their three children and his family in your thoughts and prayers.
Central is saddened to hear of the sudden and tragic passing of trainer Nick Koch.
Nick, who graduated from Central, was a tireless worker, whose presence will be missed by coaches and student-athletes.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Nick's wife, three children and family.
Good morning!

APUSH students reviewed major figures from the American Revolution today by participating in a speed dating game, where you had two minutes to introduce yourself, ask questions to the other figures and determine if you were a "good match." The students did a great job.
