American Fork High School student Samantha Corey, who completed graduation requirements before her death in January, will not be recognized in the school's graduation ceremony because of a district policy. An American Fork High School student who completed graduation requirements before her death in January will not be recognized in the school's graduation ceremony because of a district policy.

Samantha died in January 2024. Her family received her diploma, but hoped her name would still get called at the graduation ceremony. Plans for graduation ceremonies are guided by district policy. Decisions about specific plans reflect our sincere desire to appropriately balance the need to remember those who have passed and the opportunity to celebrate the accomplishment of all graduates. We realize that not allowing for certain types of memorials during graduation ceremonies may cause additional pain for those closest to students who have passed.
