Classes Cancelled at Marana High After Student Dies on Campus
Police said the case appears isolated and involved a Marana High School student after staff found a body on campus.
On Tuesday, Sept. 8, Marana High School canceled classes after a student was found dead on campus. The school, which serves about 2,400 students, remained closed while police conducted an investigation.
Preliminary information indicates the student broke into the campus around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday, and two staff members discovered the student at approximately 6:40 a.m.
The Marana Police Department stated this "appears to be an isolated incident involving a single person." Police confirmed they are not actively looking for a suspect.
MUSD announced classes will resume Wednesday as scheduled, with administration stating the campus is secure and prioritizing "welcoming students and staff back" to a supportive environment.
The MUSD Crisis Response Team will be on campus to support students and staff dealing with grief. Families seeking resources for stress or shock may contact district personnel.
