PROMOTING HAPPINESS AND KINDNESS
ARIELLE K STERRETT DAY
Arielle K. Sterrett (Sept. 17, 1999 – Oct. 22, 2017) was born in Plantation, Florida, the daughter of Michelle Rojas-Sterrett and Guillermo Sterrett. Raised in Kennesaw, Georgia, she was a senior at North Cobb High School and earned recognition as both an Honor and Magnet student.
Sterrett's life, though brief, left a luminous mark on her school community. Described as compassionate, generous and vivacious, she engaged in a wide array of student activities—from Peer Mediation and Anti-Bully Committee to Tribal Connections, Athletic Student Council, Shop with a Warrior, Rally for Childhood Cancer, Hearts for Hooves, and serving as a peer minister and camp counselor.
On Oct. 22, 2017, Sterrett passed away unexpectedly at age 18 due to breathing complications, prompting an outpouring of grief and remembrance. Her parents created this day in 2021 as a way to keep her memory alive and encourage others to show kindness and care toward each other.
