We wanted to let you know that we have begun planning some end-of-the-year events to celebrate you, our seniors. It has been a difficult year for all of us, and we want to recognize the extraordinary efforts your class has put forth over the last four years. You have all overcome many difficulties, especially over this past year, and you are to be congratulated. As protocols and guidance continue to change, many of the events listed below are still being planned and are subject to change. Here is what is in the works right now:

Senior Academic Awards Night (Anticipated Sunday, May 2)

Prospect will be recognizing the academic achievements of the Class of 2021 at its annual awards ceremony. This in-person event will celebrate academic successes earned over the past four years. More information will be provided in the near future.

 

Cap & Gown and Yard Sign Distribution (Early-Mid May)

Every senior will receive a lawn sign to display their pride as a member of the Class of 2021. These will be handed out at the same time as cap & gown pick-up.  

Senior Parade (TBA)

We will host a senior parade on campus at 8:30am. Students will have the opportunity to drive through campus one last time and be recognized by over 200 Prospect staff members. 

Graduation Rehearsal and Graduation (Wednesday, May 19)

Wednesday will be an exciting day for the Class of 2021.  It will begin with graduation practice at 10am where our seniors will rehearse the commencement ceremony. The Class of 2021 and their families will then return to campus in the evening for the pomp and circumstance that is a Prospect graduation tradition in Gattas Stadium. More information will be sent once it has been finalized. The rain date is Thursday, May 20.

 

Senior Prom 2021 (Saturday, May 22)

We are hard at work organizing a Senior Prom that will celebrate our seniors in style. Our first-ever outdoor prom will create a special high school moment under the lights of Gattas Stadium complete with a custom fireworks display for the Class of 2021!  We are seeking feedback from our students about this evening and gathering their input on things that they would like to have as part of Prom 2021. All of the details will be sent to you once they are finalized. The rain date is Sunday, May 23.

Please complete the following survey by Wednesday, March 9th at 3:30pm

Prom Survey for the Class of 2021

   

Again, as all of the information regarding these events is finalized, it will be shared with you. Please keep in mind that we are required to follow all ISBE, IDPH, and CCDPH protocols and guidelines for these events in order to assure the health and safety of everyone who attends. We look forward to providing an exciting end to high school for the Class of 2021.
