#Atlanta principal, wife drown while vacationing in Puerto Rico

An Atlanta principal drowned while trying to save his wife while on vacation to Puerto Rico.

Westlake High School principal Jamar Robinson was swimming with his wife, Ann Marie, in the ocean behind the Condado Hotel Sunday in San Juan when his wife began to struggle against the current, Telemundo Puerto Rico reported.

He tried to save his wife, but they were both pulled under the water, the outlet reported.

School officials on Wednesday confirmed their deaths in a statement that remembered Robinson as an “inspirational leader.”

“Fulton County Schools is mourning the tragic loss of Westlake High School principal Jamar Robinson and his wife,” the statement said, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

“Robinson was an inspirational leader who brought joy with his passion for education and his students. We join the community in remembering him and expressing our condolences to his family.”

Westlake football coach Bobby May also mourned the educator in a tribute Tuesday on Twitter.

“Our hearts are broken for the family of Mr. Robinson and Mrs. Robinson and the entire Westlake community,” May wrote.

“We will always remember Mr. Robinson as the principal who worked tirelessly, was always upbeat, passionate, never missed a game or event and LOVED his students with a heart that was unmatched.”
