Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine told the Times Recorder on Wednesday the state will soon announce more prom and graduation guidelines.
He said they would likely be uncomplicated and would stress common practices like masks, distancing, outdoor preference and exercising caution while eating or drinking.
Last year a state health order shuttered schools and prohibited gatherings of more than 10 people. That included prom, forcing juniors and seniors across Ohio to miss a traditional rite of passage ahead of high school graduation.

Fieldhouse camp wasn’t just for the boys
ZANESVILLE – There was also a camp for young cheerleaders at the Fieldhouse.
The Drabik’s wanted to include all young athletes and the class was an opportunity for very young cheerleaders to get practice who often have very little experience.
“A lot of these girls – they’ve never cheered before or they maybe have one or two years of experience. With no youth football, this is giving them the chance to still cheer, to still kind of stay in shape for cheer, and have fun,” Camp Co-Coordinator Kymm Drabik said.
