Ten educators—including the five who were killed in mass school shootings in Parkland, Fla., and Santa Fe, Texas—died while working in the 2017-18 school year. Of the 119 names on the memorial, 89 of the deaths were from violence—shootings, stabbings, or blunt-force trauma, according to the National Teachers Hall of Fame.
