(Dighton, MA) “We are saddened by the news that one of our Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School students has fallen to gun violence. Unfortunately, we are now trying to make sense out of another life lost needlessly and ended at a remarkably young age. Our prayers and thoughts are with the victim and the victim's family at this time. I would ask, once again, that we use this tragedy as a reflective piece to ensure that it never is repeated again.” said Dr. Anthony C. Azar, Superintendent of Schools

Dr. John Gould, principal at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High school states, “Michael Pacheco, a student at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School, passed away last night. He was known for always having a smile. As a seventeen year old, he was one to always to have a great sense of humor. As an individual, he would do anything for his friends. We send our condolences to his family and friends.”

Dighton-Rehoboth Regional School District is providing grief counselors to assist our community in this monumental tragedy. The Norton Crisis Team and our district guidance staff will continue to be available here at the high school from 7:30 to 2 P.M. today, Wednesday, June 27, 2018.
