Sophomore William Riley and junior Chris Pare, co-presidents of the Lakes Region school’s outdoors club, say they’ve learned a fair amount in school and online about climate change globally but they ve heard less about how New Hampshire is changing.

Events like proms and graduations will be similar, but not the same. COVID is lifting, but it isn’t gone.
Using the federal and state guidelines as starting points Laconia and Gilford high schools have come up with plans that they feel strike the right balance between a celebration to remember at a time when restraint is still the watchword. Face masks and social distancing will be required.
