Richmond High School
RHS will hold its graduation in the Tiernan Center at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 6, for its approximately 250 graduates. Everyone in attendance must follow health and safety guidelines provided by the Wayne County Health Department, which includes social distancing and wearing masks. Our Tiernan Center floor is (approximately) 1,400 square feet, if we don t pull the bleachers out, Principal Rae Woolpy said. This year s graduating class is one of the smallest ones we ve ever had, so that makes it easier to have inside the Tiernan Center, and then you don t have to keep your fingers crossed about the weather.
RICHMOND, Ind. Wayne County high schools didn t have proms in 2020 after the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the final few months of the school year.
Last year s seniors were deprived of the traditional dance and many other pre-graduation celebrations, and the Class of 2021 has endured even more gaps of that sort during an entire school year unlike any other.
But while some local high schools once again won t host proms due to health and safety concerns, others have approved alternative gatherings in effort to give seniors as exciting a finale as possible while still maintaining a healthy environment.
Here are local high schools plans for 2021 prom:
