RE: Mrs. Kami DeRoche, Loss in our School Community
Dear BPS students, staff and community,
It is with deep sorrow that I share the news of the passing of our Browning High School Culinary Arts teacher, Kami DeRoche.
Kami was a beloved member of the Browning Public Schools community for many years, serving our students at the Childcare, Browning Elementary School, Browning Middle School, and Browning High School. Throughout her career, she was a valued member of our BPS family in many roles, including child care aide, TA, teacher, and club/activity advisor.
Kami generously volunteered her time and talents to support our students, her colleagues, and the many clubs and activities that enrich our schools. Her kindness, dedication, and unwavering commitment to our school community has touched countless lives.
This loss is deeply felt by each us, as well as her family. Browning Public Schools extends our heartfelt condolences to everyone who loved Kami. We ask that you keep her family in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
Kami will arrive home today at Starr School and services will be as follows:
Funeral Service-Saturday, July 11, 2026 @ 3:00 PM
Location-Starr School Gym
No Burial Service will be held
This is truly a heartbreaking loss for our entire community. GRIEF SUPPORT for STAFF and STUDENTS will be provided daily from 1:00-4:00 PM on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week in the Browning High School Counseling Center by Charlie & Sienna Speicher. Please reach out for assistance, if needed.
With deep sadness,
Rebecca Rappold, District Superintendent
