Am petitioning the Frisco ISD for a posthumous diploma in honor Austin Metcalf who was an exemplary young man that excelled in every area of his life. As a student of Memorial High School, he was not only an honor student but a role model and an inspiration to his peers, his teammates, and teachers – who's life was cut short at the hands of another student from another school within the Frisco ISD during a school event - through no fault of his own.
Sadly, Frisco ISD has chosen to bend a knee at the alter of NGAN by rewarding his (confessed) killer, Karmelo Anthony, by giving him a diploma even though he had been expelled – verses - taking a stand and honoring one of their finest students by announcing they would be issuing Austin Metcalf a posthumous diploma. They can still correct their wrong and am petitioning them to rise to the occasion.
Heart and prayers go out to the Metcalf family. I know we can never help ease your grief. But we do hope you find a little comfort in knowing Austins life and legacy has reached out and touched the hearts of so many people across our nation, as well as, internationally. We will be praying for justice – but most of all for healing for your family. God bless
Kathleen supported: Award an honorary diploma to Austin MetcalfI cannot fathom losing a child so young, it breaks my heart everytime I hear of these tragic circumstances. Austin & his family deserve this recognition for all their efforts in raising such a fine young man and for his memory to leave a mark. God bless this family and may this petition help bring some peace to a tragic loss.
Auimee supported: Award an honorary diploma to Austin MetcalfThis young man was slain unjustly and at minimum deserves a posthumous Graduation, as well as Justice!
Steven supported: Award an honorary diploma to Austin MetcalfThis poor kid and his family never deserved such horrendous treatment. Please let these signatures make an impact to at least honor his memory and bring comfort to his family.
Justine supported: Award an honorary diploma to Austin MetcalfI cannot fathom that we can now justify cold, blooded murder on account of someone's skin color. If anyone kills another in a state that they are not defending themselves or someone else, they should pay the full penalty for their actions, instead of receiving a slap on the wrist. My heart goes out to the victim and his family.
Jared supported: Award an honorary diploma to Austin MetcalfWhat does it profit a school to shape minds but forget the souls who walked its halls?
(Mark 8:36)
Schools talk a lot about shaping the future. But they're also stewards of memory. When a student is lost, no matter who it is, that absence doesn’t just vanish, it echoes. In the hallways, in classrooms, in the spaces they should still occupy. No matter what you try to do, you can't silence that kind of grief. So what should you do next? You acknowledge it. You name it. And more importantly, you honor it.
Giving Austin this diploma says what needs to be said: you mattered then, and you still matter now. That should never be up for debate.
And one last thing, this isn’t about sentimentality, it’s about conscience. It’s about whether Frisco ISD is willing to do what’s right, even when it’s symbolic. Because symbols shape how we heal. They shape what we teach. And doing nothing? That sends a message no one should be okay with.
Call his name. Print the diploma. Let that act carry the weight it’s supposed to, for his family, for his classmates, and for every student watching what we choose to do next.
