CCHS Prom will be Saturday, May 8

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there was no prom for the Cook County High School Class of 2020 and there was no Homecoming celebration for current students. It looked as if Prom might be canceled again this year as there was a COVID-19 case in the student body which meant a number of students being in quarantine. However, organizers planned for that and had a back-up plan. Prom was rescheduled from April 17 to Saturday, May 8. 
 

The theme selected by the junior class organizers is quite meaningful. It's The Light at the End of the Tunnel. 
 

Of course, like so many events in this coronavirus pandemic year, Prom will look quite different. There will be a Grand March and coronation, but in keeping with COVID-19 guidelines, the public may not attend. However, the school will stream those events live on the school's YouTube or Facebook page.  The Grand March begins at 7:30 p.m.
