Author: Caylee Kirby (WTOL) Updated: 1:06 AM EDT April 13, 2021 TOLEDO, Ohio — Your high school senior is probably counting down the days until prom and graduation. The coronavirus has really taken high schoolers through some twists and turns over the last year, forcing students and school staff to think outside of the box for events like prom and graduation. "When you plan something like this, I'm not sure if people understand, it's like planning a wedding. With 500 kids and planning a prom or a graduation, there's rentals and invitations and all kinds of pieces involved," Whitmer High School Principal Kristie Martin said.
