Guest authorization forms are also available in the main office as well as on WITS. Please also let Mrs. McCarthy know when you purchase your tickets if you or your date has dietary restrictions. The meal otherwise will be filet of sirloin, chicken bruschetta, and appetizers. The last important detail for prom is table seating, which will be determined on Thursday May 31st at 2:45 in the business office. You can come and reserve a whole table of up to 10 guests. Seniors should discuss with their groups in advance who is sitting where so there are no miscommunications or confusions.
Post prom sponsored by the PTSA, will take place at 12am at Northtowns center. It is important to note that no one will be allowed to enter after 1am. All students must return a completed signed waiver to the post prom box in the school office by noon on Thursday June 8 to participate in post prom.
The final event for the class of 2018 is Graduation, which will take place on Sunday, June 24 at 3:30 at UB’s center for the arts. A mandatory graduation rehearsal will take place on Thursday June 21st from 8:30-10:30 at East High School. Students will report to the commons, and will receive their caps, gowns, tassels, and NHS stoles after the rehearsal. Seniors will also receive 4 complimentary tickets for graduation following this rehearsal. Students may request more tickets when they pick-up their tickets, and extras will be handed out if available after everyone has their initial tickets. Seniors can also submit a speech, which should be between 3-5 minutes in length, to be considered for graduation to Mrs. Warner by May 23. If students have any questions about these upcoming events, they can ask the class advisors or class officers.
