The email said Stiles was a “talented actor” with a “wonderful sense of humor.”
The email did not reveal the cause of death.
The principal encouraged parents with students at the school to talk with them about the death.
“Because students and staff react in different ways, it is important to have support available to assist when needed,” the email states. “Tomorrow and next week as needed, our District Crisis Team and School Counselors will be available for support.”
