HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — Douglas County has raised nearly $70,000 to underwrite construction for a memorial to Kendrick Castillo, the student killed in the STEM School shooting in 2019.
Kendrick Castillo’s father, John Castillo, said the memorial “would mean so much” to him and his wife, who visit their son’s grave every day. The memorial location at Civic Green Park in Highlands Ranch is meaningful, as it is just down the road from STEM School and adjacent to a library where Kendrick and his friends would often work on their school projects. Castillo hopes a permanent tribute to his son will keep his memory alive and inspire the community to push for important change.
