The student, Lucina Partis, was a member of the Ann Arbor high school's tennis team and part of its Design Technology and Environmental Planning magnet program, Principal Sulura Jackson said.

School district spokeswoman Liz Margolis students learned about the death in their second period classes on Thursday. The student’s close friends and their parents were informed earlier in the day, she said.

Partis had attended Ann Arbor schools since ninth grade, Margolis said.

The school held a moment of silence in Partis’s honor this morning, Jackson’s message said. Friends had set up a Facebook group in her honor.

Margolis did not have the time of the accident. Ann Arbor police declined to release details Thursday night.
