Hippy Rodriguez, who recently graduated from East Hampton High School, was very upset to learn the news.

“It kind of actually broke my heart because I looked up to him. I wanted to kind of be a teacher like him, more like a principal. Looked up to him,” Rodriguez said.

The community is invited to visit the high school Monday between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m. to leave cards, flowers and other tributes to Fidler.
