In December 2015, two people from Staples High School in Westport, CT – a student and a teacher – took their own lives. The suicides sent the school and the town into a state of grief and soul-searching. Media reports remarked on the contrast between the high- functioning school and the tragic deaths. The suicides were also a painful reminder of the 2013 suicide of a sophomore at Greenwich High School on the first day of school.
