Prom update: In the likely event we have rain, grand march will take place in the high school auditorium at 7:00pm on Saturday. Students should report to the high school cafeteria no later than 6:40pm.
In order to ensure we have enough space for family and community members, students will be directed to sit in the balcony after they walk across the stage.
Once the crowning ceremony is over, students are welcome to head over to the Opera House or stay and take pictures on stage or in the lobby.
An announcement will be made Saturday morning regarding the location. Thank you for your patience.👍❤️
*The Grand March will be live-streamed on KTMO 106.5 The Wolf.
