Watched it live on tv in high school when it happened. My algebra teacher got up and ran out the door and we all heard her and another teacher crying in the hall. I lived in South Florida at the time so we might even have been able to see it happen had we been standing outside at the time.

Our school helped raise funds for the Challenger Memorial in Miami.

I have vague memories of our teachers (also South Florida) taking us outside in anticipation of seeing the landing but then taking us in without really explaining why we didn't get to see anything. I remember seeing it on the news later in the day.
