Gould is doing more to engage with the local community: Hosting the community band, the BOC ski sale and the new yurt at Pine Hill for kids' rec programs. Also, allowing community use of the field house and other facilities really helps Gould become a more beloved institution in the Bethel area. As to the portrait of a graduate, our two kids benefitted greatly, personally and professionally because of their time at Gould.
