JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Atlantic Coast High School students returned from winter break this week, the day after News4Jax learned of an arrest in connection with the death of a longtime science teacher. As students changed classes Thursday, they could be seen passing by a memorial for Atlantic Coast High chemistry teacher Vivian James, who was found dead inside her Westside home days after Christmas. “She was an educator of educators,” Atlantic Coast High teacher Ben Rowan told News4Jax on Thursday. Anyone wishing to donate to the GoFundMe account created to help fund the memorial and for James’ family can do so by clicking here. He has not been charged in connection with James’ death.
