SAN ANTONIO Scores of East Central upperclassmen lined up for a nasal swab Wednesday the last test they’ll have to pass before celebrating prom Saturday night.
The coronavirus pandemic canceled last year’s prom, meaning seniors have yet to enjoy this dance.
“We can’t really see the smiles because they’re behind the masks, but you can tell by their eyes they’re excited,” Principal Shane McKay said. “They’re almost seeing this as an opportunity to be a part of an historic event: You get to have a prom, still in a pandemic.”
