Northwood School in Lake Placid (Enterprise photo â Andy Flynn) LAKE PLACID Lake Placid’s Northwood School is sending students home in an effort to halt any further spread of the coronavirus, and in hopes that its seniors may be able to return at the end of the month for prom and commencement. Altogether, 24 people at the private boarding school have tested positive for COVID-19 in recent weeks. This cluster of cases was first discovered in late April after a student on the boys soccer team started experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, according to Northwood Assistant Head of School Life John Spear. That student ultimately tested positive, and subsequent testing of other students on the soccer team revealed more positives.
