The school committee members discussed prom plans with students Grace Brogioli (second row, far right) and Adreanna Dillen (third row, far left).
Seniors will have a prom this year despite a handful of less-than-popular covid-19 safety restrictions, including a prohibition on guests from lower grades and from other schools and a requirement that students sit 6 feet apart while eating dinner.
During their April 29 meeting, the School Committee unanimously approved a request to change the prom venue to the Plimoth Patuxet Museums formerly known as the Plimoth Plantation. In February 2020, the committee approved the Cape Cod Club as the venue for the class of 2021’s senior prom. But that venue couldn’t accommodate the safety measures deemed necessary by school officials, explained Wareham High School Principal Scott Palladino.

WAREHAM – The Wareham High School Class of 2021 had its prom venue OK’d back in February 2020.
Then things really changed, noted Principal Scott Palladino.
The venue selected in those pre-COVID days wasn’t going to provide the safety needed under school protocols, which include students remaining 6 feet apart when they remove masks to eat lunch.
So the students and their faculty advisors had to find a venue that could provide the kind of space needed to assure that the students would remain 6 feet apart when they were at the table to eat.
