The Woodland Hills School District is devastated to announce the sudden and tragic passing of Mrs. Erin Higgins, a beloved teacher at Wilkins Elementary STEAM Academy in Pittsburgh, PA.
Mrs. Higgins was a dedicated educator and a cherished member of our school community, and her loss is felt deeply by everyone who knew her. Our hearts are broken for her family, including her two beautiful children, and for our students and staff who were fortunate to be part of her life.
As we grapple with this incredibly difficult news, we have invited Wilkins parents who are able to do so to pick up their children early from school today. This measure is aimed at allowing our students and staff some space to begin processing their grief in a supportive environment.
Additionally, we are committed to providing all possible resources and supports to our school community during this challenging time. Counselors and support staff will be available to assist students and employees as they navigate their emotions and cope with this profound loss.
Mrs. Higgins was more than just a teacher; she was a mentor, a friend, and an inspiration to many. Her passion for education and her dedication to her students were evident in everything she did.
She touched countless lives with her kindness, creativity, and enthusiasm, leaving an indelible mark on our school community.
We are asking for any prayers, support, love, and kindness that you can extend to Mrs. Higgins' family, our staff, students, and the entire district. The Woodland Hills School District has faced significant loss in recent times, and this additional heartbreak compounds our collective grief.
Your compassion and support are invaluable as we come together to honor Mrs. Higgins' memory and support one another through this period of mourning. Let us remember her legacy and strive to embody the qualities she exemplified: dedication, kindness, and a profound love for learning.
