Death of Wes Leonard

On March 3, 2011, a 16-year-old student named Wes Leonard died after making the winning shot at a local basket ball game of an enlarged heart.[2] Dirk Weeldreyer, the superintendent of the district, made this statement on the school's website:[3]

"The loss of Wes Leonard is a tragedy that has shocked our entire community. We feel tremendous sorrow for the Leonard family and everyone else who knew and cared for Wes. All of our schools have grief counselors available for students. We appreciate the outpouring of assistance from our fellow Allegan County school districts, as well as the many other expressions of support we have received."
