Mohan, who also served as the school's Athletics and Activities Director, was a husband and father who taught social studies at Bala Cynwyd for 30 years, administrators said in a statement. 

“Mr. Mohan was a pillar of the BC Community who loved and cared for his students," said BCMS Principal Jeffrey Hunter. 

"Each day since 1993, he could be seen greeting his students with a smile in the hallway. He was a natural with his students, using storytelling and whimsical tales to engage them in U.S. History."

"He could also be heard singing the BC Alma Mater, though not always with the right words or in tune. He truly knew what it meant to be a middle school teacher."

Members of the district's Student Services team met with students early Wednesday, April 3 to share the news and make mental health support available, LMSD said. 

"I urge parents and guardians of students who had Mr. Mohan to discuss his sudden passing with their children in a manner they feel best," said Superintendent Steve M. Yanni.

Resources for parents are available on the district website, he added. 

"I know that our entire community joins me in sending our deepest condolences to the Mohan family at this impossibly difficult time," Yanni wrote. 

"If and when the family asks us to share additional information with our school community, we will do so."
