Concord High School is in mourning today after the death over the weekend of Thom LaBarbera.
The school is closed today after students, faculty and family members met in the high school’s cafeteria on Sunday night.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that there are few details of the tragic death from school officials except to say that the social sciences teacher will be sorely missed.
He taught at the school for 20 years.
At the cafeteria last night many shared stories about the beloved instructor.
The News Journal reports one said it was because of LaBarbera that he joined the U.S. military.
Many posted photos and recollected memories on social media and created a Facebook page group “Students of Thom Labarbera Remember”.
