After a Richmond County Board of Education meeting plans for graduation and proms across the Richmond County School system have been revealed.
Richmond County Graduations will not be held at the James Brown Arena this year as they were last year. 2021 school year graduations will instead be held at high school stadiums.
High school principals in the RCSS met and sent a survey to gather input from the school staff and student body. After receiving a wide range of responses, schools that choose to hold a prom event will be required to submit a plan of action to do so in accordance with COVID-19 guidelines.

ROCKINGHAM It started out as a regular Saturday afternoon for Diasia Littlejohn and Dequan Wilson. They brought their young daughter, Ja’Nyvia Littlejohn, to Walmart to shop.
As they arrived, they noticed a number of Richmond County Sheriff’s deputies gathered outside the store. Wondering what the commotion was about, they asked if something had happened.
The deputies weren’t there on official business they were there for the first Shop with a Deputy shopping spree, and Diasia was surprised when the deputies then invited her and Wilson to bring little Ja’Nyvia along to participate.
