Vigil for slain brothers William and Anthony Lin

Monday 6PM Arcadia High School

The Arcadia Unified School District family offers our deepest condolences to the Lin family, their friends and loved ones. We are beyond saddened to learn of the death of the Lin brothers, William and Anthony, who attended Arcadia High School. The loss of William and Anthony will be felt by the thousands of students, staff, friends and family that loved and knew them well in our tight-knit community. We know our community will stand united as we go through this unthinkable tragedy together. We ask everyone to please respect the Lin family’s privacy during this extremely difficult time.

While this tragedy did not happen on campus, it will undoubtedly have an enormous impact throughout all our schools. We will provide additional counselors and support services this week when students return to school, and for as long as they are needed. Arcadia Unified prides itself as being a positive leader in this great community, and will continue to make the well-being of our students and staff a priority. We appreciate the many condolences and support for the Lin Family. We know this will continue, and we thank you all.

Sincerely,
