GOWANDA As COVID-19 regulations continue to lighten, in-person events that are held outdoors with restrictions as to how many people can be there are coming back. High schools are taking advantage of this for their end of year events, and Gowanda is no different.
Gowanda High School principal Rebekah Moraites said that Gowanda’s graduation will be held in person, outdoors at Hillis Field in Gowanda. The whole class will be there on Friday, June 25 and parents will be allowed, although there are limited tickets. Moraites said students can expect a letter going home soon with more details.
