On Friday, January 28th, 2010, Mandarin High School hosted a tree planting ceremony for the family of Jarell Stewart.  Jarell was a Senior at MHS who played football and was loved by his peers, coaches and teachers.  He passed away on Labor Day weekend and will be missed by all.  In his memory, a tree was planted in the MHS courtyard.  It is located by the bell tower with a stone next to it.
The Friday of the event would have been Jarell's 18th birthday.
