More than 200 students and faculty members from Port Neches-Groves High School gathered at the campus Tuesday afternoon and evening to pay tribute to classmate Morgan Chrisian, who passed away Friday.
Students left notes in memory boxes, added photos of themselves with her in a box and told stories of memories they shared together.
