It is with profound sadness that we at SHS share the news that our beloved friend, mentor, and leader, Letitia Lockhart, passed away on Saturday, September 6th. Tricia was more than just the heart of SHS — she was the soul that brought our community together. Her dedication, kindness, and passion touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege to work with her, learn from her, or simply call her a friend.
As a result of this heartbreaking loss, SHS is currently closed to new clients. This pause allows us the time and space to grieve, reflect, and honor Tricia’s memory while ensuring that those who continue their journey with us are cared for with the same love and attention she always gave.
For those seeking lessons, we highly recommend contacting Letitia Lockhart. Letitia has been a trusted colleague, friend, and supporter of SHS, and she brings the same commitment to excellence, compassion, and professionalism that Tricia valued so deeply. If for any reason she is unable to assist you directly, Letitia has kindly offered to connect you with another instructor who can meet your needs.
We also want to take this moment to extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who has been a part of SHS over the years — our clients, students, boarders, and friends. You have been an integral part of what made SHS more than just a place for lessons or training; you made it a true community. Your support, kindness, and shared love for what we do have been a source of strength during this difficult time.
Though Tricia is no longer with us, her spirit will always live on in SHS. Every lesson, every achievement, and every friendship that grew here is a testament to her legacy. We honor her not only in memory but in the continued care, respect, and passion we bring to our work.
On behalf of everyone at SHS, thank you for standing with us during this painful time. Please keep Tricia’s family, friends, and all who loved her in your thoughts as we navigate this profound loss together. For those wishing to continue their journey, we encourage you to reach out to Letitia Lockhart, who will ensure that Tricia’s spirit of teaching and support carries forward.
