Damon Springer

On the first day of school, 2011-2012, we read this message at the beginning of the day in memory of Damon Springer: 


It's been said that: 
Death cannot kill what never dies. 


... And it's true.  Some things never die... like memories for instance.  Memories of a warm smile or a special touch... memories of moments shared with one another... memories of a look that no one else will ever give or just a way of being that no one else will ever possess.  


What never dies is that part of us that is unique and unrepeatable.  That part lives forever in the hearts and minds of those who cared for us... who knew us... who shared our journey through life no matter how brief.  


And when we remember those we've lost, we may cry or smile or even be angry because life can be so incredibly unfair.  But we remember nonetheless, and when we do, the one we remember lives on in our hearts and in our minds.  


Today, we dedicate this message to Damon Springer, who was a unique and unrepeatable human being.  He touched our lives in ways both big and small.  In memory of Damon, we offer a moment of silence. 

This week, CHS lost one of our own.  Damon Springer died in a tragic accident on Monday afternoon.

Damon was in this year's junior class and was a member of the wrestling team.  Teachers and students remember him for his smile and sense of humor.

Funeral arrangements for Damon:


  • Viewing: Thursday, August 18th from 2 - 8 PM @ Cisco Funeral Home
  • Funeral: Friday, August 19th @ 10:30 AM @ Mt. Tabor Church of God

School counselors are available for students as needed in this time of grief.
