M. Grey with football team

Dear GWHS Families, 

It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the passing of a beloved staff member and coach, Mr. Mark Gray. Mr. Gray was a cherished part of our school community, known for his dedication, kindness, and unwavering support for our students. 

We understand that this news may be difficult for many of our students and staff. To support our community during this challenging time, counselors will be available on-site at Western Greenbrier Middle School, Greenbrier West High School, and area elementary schools. They are here to provide emotional support and help anyone who may need assistance in coping with this loss.  

We encourage you to talk with your children about their feelings and remind them that it is okay to grieve and seek support. If you feel your child needs additional support, please do not hesitate to reach out to the school counselors. 

Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Gray’s family and all those who were touched by his presence.

Sincerely, 

Hillary Burns 

GWHS Principal
