A teacher at San Antonio's North East Independent School District died on campus Thursday morning after experiencing a medical emergency.
The principal of MacArthur High School shared the news in an announcement to faculty and staff.
“The campus went into a hold and EMS was called,” said Principal Joaquin Hernandez. “It is with a heavy heart that I regret to inform you, he did not survive.”
Hernandez did not name the faculty member.
Records from the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s office confirmed Timothy Kitterman died Thursday morning just after 9 a.m.
Kitterman was an American Sign Language teacher at MacArthur High School. He was named teacher of the year at the school in 2019.
The school’s Crisis Intervention Team will be on campus to offer support to students and faculty over the next few days.
"Our campus counselors will continue to be available to offer support to any student or staff member needing assistance," said Hernandez.
Kitterman's cause of death is still undetermined.
