It has been one year since a single student brought multiple guns to Santa Fe High School, located near Houston, and began firing.

The attack remains one of the deadliest in U.S. and Texas state history.

The tragedy claimed 10 lives and left 13 injured.

These were friends, fathers, mothers, daughters, brothers and sons who were taken too soon.

Educators Glenda Perkins and Cynthia Tisdale — who began the school day in the art room — were among those killed.

As were students Jared Black, Shana Fisher, Christian Riley Garcia, Aaron Kyle McLeod, Angelique Ramirez, Sabika Sheikh, Christopher Jake Stone and Kimberly Vaughan.

In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, they were remembered best by those who knew them as heroes and caregivers.

However, their courage and sacrifice, as individuals and as a group, will be reaffirmed on the one-year anniversary of the tragedy and for many years after. Above you can see their faces of all who gave their lives on that terrible day in Santa Fe last spring.
