Mark Greene

Mark Greene was an 18‑year‑old student in Queens who was finishing his time at North Queens Community High School.

The response from local educators and officials—who noted the grief felt across the school community and arranged support for students—reflects that Mark was part of a school community that mattered to him and to others around him.

Mark’s death on November 10, 2022, was widely reported by established local news outlets; these reports consistently describe him as an 18‑year‑old student from Queens.

This remembrance respectfully acknowledges the limits of the public record about Mark’s life.
