Dear RAM Family,
It is with great sadness that I must inform you about a loss to our school family. Mrs. Deb Berger, a Spanish teacher at Upper Sandusky High School has lost her brave battle with cancer. Funeral arrangements will be handled through Lucas Batton Funeral home in Upper Sandusky and we have counselors and clergy on hand at the High School in case any students or staff need support in the coming days. We express our sincere condolences to the family, friends, coworkers and students of Mrs. Berger. She was a valued member of our staff and community. She led her life with strong family values and a deep faith. She will be missed.
