BUCYRUS — Rhonda Rowland bleeds Wynford Royal Blue, and that’s not likely to change, even after she steps down from her role on the Wynford Local School District Board of Education when her term ends this year. Rowland joked that many find it hard to believe she is a 1984 Bucyrus High School graduate, not to mention was named homecoming queen, because of her love for Wynford. But after marrying her husband, a Wynford graduate, and moving into the district in 1987, she made up her mind that she would get involved with the Wynford school district.
