LOWVILLE, N.Y. — October 16, 2026

Lowville Academy and Central School officially dedicated its athletic complex in honor of longtime coach, educator, and athletic administrator Robert Goss during a special ceremony attended by family, friends, former colleagues, student-athletes, and community members.

The dedication recognized Goss' remarkable 40 years of service to Lowville Academy, spanning from 1985 through his retirement in 2025. Throughout his career, Goss served in numerous roles that helped shape the district's athletic programs and positively impacted generations of students and student-athletes. Roberts' wife and son joined former coaches, colleagues, and athletes, along with current Lowville coaches and student-athletes, for an evening celebrating his legacy.

In addition to his service at Lowville, Goss served as president of the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Section III from 2024 to 2026, providing leadership and advocacy throughout the 108 member schools of Section III.

The ceremony featured remarks reflecting on Goss' four decades of dedication, leadership, and mentorship, highlighting the profound impact he had on students, coaches, colleagues, and the Lowville community. While the Homecoming football game against Westhill that was scheduled to follow the ceremony was ultimately canceled, the evening remained a fitting celebration of a man whose influence on Lowville athletics extended far beyond the playing field.

The naming of the athletic complex ensures that Goss' legacy will continue to inspire future generations of Red Raiders, serving as a lasting reminder of his decades of service, leadership, and commitment to the Lowville community.
