Taylor Herving and Family

On Friday, May 20th, Taylor and two of our senior class students were involved in a hit-and-run car accident. Though thankfully the other two students came away with minor injuries, Taylor, unfortunatley sustained many critical injuries including several broken bones, a lacerated liver, and other organ damage.

Taylor has already undergone a few surgeries, and will require a number more in the future. Taylor is a fighter, and is healing with the support of her loving family, including her three brothers, two that are also students at our school. In true Taylor fashion, she has stayed optimistic and positive despite her pain.

As you may know, our charter school is community-driven, and we ask that you show your support for Taylor through these difficult times as best you can. Taylor is one of eleven senior class students, and we want to show her and her family how important they are to us in our small, but tight-knit community.

The family would deeply appreictae any help you can give, as they all have a long road to recovery ahead of them. Taylor is currently enrolled to attend NAU in the fall, and if we can all contribute to support her healing journey and get her the best care possible, we hope to make this well-deserved dream still happen for her.

The teachers, staff, and students at Desert Marigold High School appreicate you for taking the time to read this, and provide support in any way you can.
