Kendrick Castillo Memorial Fund and Oversight Committee

×

Our community will never forget the act of heroism on May 7, 2019, when STEM School Highlands Ranch senior Kendrick Castillo sacrificed his own life to save others during a shooting at the Highlands Ranch public charter school.

Our community is honoring his heroism with the Kendrick Castillo Memorial in Civic Green Park, located in Town Center within the community of Highlands Ranch.

Click here to donate.

In addition to the Board of Douglas County Commissioners’ immediate actions in response to the school shooting, the Kendrick Castillo Memorial Fund and Oversight Committee was formed in May 2022 to explore ways in which to memorialize Kendrick in his hometown. The Committee includes family and friends of Kendrick and representatives of local governments and community organizations including Douglas County, the Douglas County School District, the Sheriff’s Office, Douglas County Library Board, Highlands Ranch Metropolitan District, and Seven Stones Cemetery.

One of the most immediate Committee actions was the Douglas County School District naming a robotics lab after Kendrick, the lab located at their Legacy Campus.  In addition, the Committee has developed and evaluated additional memorial recommendations:

  1. The Kendrick Castillo memorial, located in Civic Green Park ($30,000)
  2. Lucent Boulevard in Highlands Ranch changed to Kendrick Castillo Way (see November sign installation in video above).
  3. A scholarship fund in Kendrick’s name.

Be assured that 100% of your donation will support the construction and maintenance of the Kendrick Castillo Memorial; the memorial street name change; and the scholarship fund.
