Today, we honor not only the remarkable educators

Today, we honor not only the remarkable educators who shape young minds but also those like Scott Beigel, who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Scott was a 35-year-old geography teacher and cross-country coach at Stoneman Douglas High School. He was a hero in every sense. On February 14, 2018, as gunshots rang out, Scott unlocked his classroom door, providing refuge for panicked students. He was struck by a bullet while courageously closing the door behind them, saving countless lives in his final moments.⁠
⁠
Scott’s legacy lives on through the Scott J. Beigel Memorial Fund, sending at-risk children to summer camp—a place Scott always cherished.⁠
⁠
Today, and every day, we remember and honor Scott, our favorite teacher, who made the ultimate sacrifice for his students. ⁠
