Herrin High School proudly wore orange and black today for Wyatt! 🐅❤️🐅

Please wear orange and black tomorrow in honor of Wyatt. He loved HHS. ❤️ We will take a big group photo tomorrow during first lunch.

To the Students, Faculty, Staff, and Families of Herrin Unit #4, It is with sincere sadness and heavy hearts that we share the passing of Herrin High School student, Wyatt Reed. After a courageous battle with cancer, Wyatt's journey has come to an end; however, the impact he made on our students, teachers, and staff will undoubtedly endure for decades to come. Wyatt’s love for school was evident every single day. His bright smile, genuine spirit, and kind heart touched the lives of everyone he encountered. Whether in the classroom, hallways, or at school events, Wyatt brought warmth and joy wherever he went. His presence made all of Herrin CUSD #4 a better place. Wyatt's legacy of kindness, courage, and compassion will always be a part of Herrin Schools. He loved this school deeply, and we will forever hold a special place in our hearts for him. In the coming days, additional counselors will be available to support any student who may need someone to talk to during this difficult time. We encourage anyone who is struggling to reach out. Please keep Wyatt’s family, friends, and all who loved him in your thoughts and prayers. With heartfelt sympathy, Herrin High School Administration
