During a Tuesday afternoon phone interview, KCS principal Kayla Livingston told the Daily News that if the communityâs COVID-19 situation does not improve, the continuation event will be held outside on June 3 with a limited number of attendees.

Ketchikan Charter School held a virtual assembly on Tuesday in recognition of Elizabeth Peratrovich Day.
The Tlingit civil rights leader and her work toward equal rights for Alaska Native individuals has been celebrated every Feb. 16 since 1988, when the Alaska Legislature designated the day in her honor.
Peratrovich, who was born in Petersburg in 1911 and graduated from Ketchikan High School, worked along with her husband, Roy Peratrovich, to secure civil rights for Alaska Natives. In 1945, she advocated for equal treatment and opportunities for Alaska Natives in front of the Alaska Territorial Legislature, leading to the passage of the Anti-Discrimination Law of 1945.
