Carroll ISD confirmed its 2021 prom and graduation plans during its regular board meeting on Monday, May 3. According to Carroll Senior High School Principal Shawn Duhon, prom will be held at the DFW Hyatt Regency Hotel at 2334 N. International Pkwy. on May 15. Plated meals will be provided to six per table, and masks will be required when not eating. Only Carroll students will be allowed to attend, and tickets are being sold online through Skyward.
Graduation, meanwhile, is currently scheduled for May 28 at Dragon Stadium. According to Duhon, students will remain 6 feet apart whether they are on the stage or field. Masks are optional and tickets will not be required for families that want to attend.
“With a little over 700 graduates, you’re looking at less than 8,000 people in the stands,” Duhon says to the board of trustees. “We feel like we can socially distance safely using the home and visitors’ side.”
The graduation ceremony will be livestreamed for those that cannot attend for health or proximity reasons. For more information, visit SouthlakeCarroll.edu.
