LITTLETON, Colo. — The principal of Columbine High School, who helped shepherd students to safety during the 1999 shootings there, is retiring after 18 years of leading the school.
In a letter to parents Tuesday, Frank DeAngelis said he would step down at the end of the school year.
"People said, 'I'm amazed you're still there, that you have the strength,'" DeAngelis told KMGH-TV. "This place provides strength for me."
