Dear UCS Community, It is with a heavy heart that I share the devastating news of the passing of our beloved teacher and friend, Courtney Kuhl. She passed away on Thursday, November 7 of natural causes. “Ms. Courtney” was a cherished member of our UCS family, a dedicated educator, and a compassionate presence for our students and staff. Courtney’s journey with us began years ago as a student teacher, and she quickly became a vital part of our school community. Over the years, she impacted hundreds of students as a teacher, coach, mentor, and steadfast advocate of our mission. Her warmth, dedication, and friendship touched so many, leaving a legacy of kindness and resilience that we will carry with us. You can view her obituary here: https://bit.ly/ckuhl2024. Please join us in keeping Courtney’s family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. She will be greatly missed and forever remembered for her kindness, passion, and the lasting impact she had on our students and colleagues. With a profoundly heavy heart, Tom Gill President, Urban Community School
