OSHKOSH ― Oshkosh North and West high schools will be moving their graduation ceremonies to the UW Oshkosh Kolf Sports Center over the uncertainty of Oshkosh Arena.
Both the dates and times remain unchanged, as Oshkosh West’s graduation will start at 10 a.m. May 25 and Oshkosh North's is slated for the same day at 4 p.m.
“We are grateful to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh for their partnership and support in hosting our graduation ceremonies,” said Oshkosh Area School District Superintendent Bryan Davis in a news release.
“Our goal is to provide our graduates with a memorable celebration, and relocating to the Kolf Sports Center allows us to proceed seamlessly with our scheduled graduation dates and times.”
The change of location is the result of the uncertain future of Oshkosh Arena, which was listed for sale earlier this year.
