Question 14: What are the summer dates for prom and graduation?

We have set two potential dates for prom and graduation. If we are able to gather larger groups together in June, we will hold prom on June 20th and graduation on June 28th. If the restrictions are not lifted until July, we will hold prom on July 18th and graduation on July 26th. The exact time for prom has not been determined yet, but graduation will be held at CHS at 12:30 and at WDHS at 2:00. If we are unable to hold a traditional graduation ceremony on either of the dates selected, we will hold a virtual ceremony on July 28th. If we don’t have a traditional graduation ceremony, we will not have prom either.
