Community mourns the death of Fraser High School teacher

FRASER — The Fraser Public Schools community is in mourning following the unexpected death of Fraser High School teacher Connor McMahon.

According to district officials, McMahon, 23, was changing a tire on June 13 on the side of Interstate 94 near Eight Mile Road when he was struck by another vehicle. The driver of the other vehicle allegedly fled from the scene but was later arrested. A 25-year-old Clinton Township woman was identified as the driver, but potential charges in the incident were pending.

McMahon was a member of the Fraser High School social studies department and taught American history as well as economics. Additionally, he also served as a counselor for the Roseville-Eastpointe Recreation Authority’s Summer Day Camp.

Fraser High School Principal Ryan Sines expressed his sadness at McMahon’s death.

“Connor’s passing is a heartbreaking tragedy,” Sines said in an email. “He just finished his first year as a social studies teacher at Fraser High School and was so excited to be teaching at his alma mater. Connor was a 2017 FHS graduate and a 2018 Early College of Macomb graduate. Connor was always willing to go above and beyond for his colleagues and students and will truly be missed by all who knew him.”

A Fraser Public Schools spokesperson said counseling services will be available to students and staff. No information about funeral or memorial services for McMahon had been formally announced as of press time.
