Helping a family honor their son’s legacy
The life of Scott J. Beigel, a 35-year-old geography teacher and cross-country coach at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, came to a tragic end on February 14, 2018, when a former student of the school opened fire on students and staff, killing 17 people and injuring 17 more. Scott was shot and killed while putting himself in harm’s way to help as many students as he could take shelter in his classroom. It is estimated that he saved the lives of 31 students.
