On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold attacked their classmates at Columbine High School, murdering 12 students and a teacher before committing suicide. This research focuses on the aftermath of those shootings, investigating the experiences of six Columbine parents in the five years since the attack. As an educator and fellow Columbine parent, I have conducted research from within the community exposed to this event.

520 $a On April 20, 1999, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold attacked their classmates at Columbine High School, murdering 12 students and a teacher before committing suicide. This research focuses on the aftermath of those shootings, investigating the experiences of six Columbine parents in the five years since the attack. As an educator and fellow Columbine parent, I have conducted research from within the community exposed to this event.
520 $a This study considers the primary question: What is the experience of parents of students who have been exposed to a rampage school shooting? This question is addressed through four sub-questions: (1) What challenges did they encounter? (2) What resources or support helped them face these challenges? (3) What impact did these challenges have on their lives? (4) What recommendations would they suggest that might help inform responses by parents, schools, and communities faced with similar trauma in the future?
520 $a For this investigation, I adapted techniques of two qualitative traditions: oral history, to capture the life stories, and educational criticism and connoisseurship, to present the findings. I conducted a series of three interviews with six parents. All interviews were tape-recorded, transcribed, studied, and poetic representations crafted from the parents' own words to convey their experiences and insights.
520 $a Analysis provided the answers to the research questions, pointing to the parents' challenges, the beneficial resources, the impact, and ultimately to their extensive list of recommendations for other parents and educators.
520 $a Findings were further analyzed through the lens of educational criticism and connoisseurship, a methodology that emphasizes discovery of themes that can be transferred to other situations. Three themes emerged from this study: location, intention, and connection. Parents' reflections and interpretation of their own experiences led to the conclusion that the most positive forms of response address the basic need to reclaim a sense of place that supports positive beliefs about personal safety and identity, to trust the intentions of those offering support, and to recover from the disconnection caused by such an assault.
