The countdown is on inside the final month before Taylorville High School’s prom. It’s scheduled for Saturday, May 2 from 7-10 p.m. at the Dolph Stanley Gymnasium. In addition, the general public will be welcomed to take in the coronation of prom king and queen during the event.
The theme this year is “Aloha After Dark.” THS prom committee members Sawyer Dempsey and Hope Kietzman, along with committee advisor Cheryl Potter, say the committee voted on the theme after receiving a host of ideas.
The coronation will take place at 8 p.m., and the general public is invited to attend that portion of the prom night.
For the student committee members, there is a significant time commitment as part of the endeavor. Much of it is backlogged for the day prior to the prom, when they decorate the gym.
Both Dempsey and Kietzman say they enjoy being on the prom committee for doing something for their peers and for taking in the final product of their work.
Tickets will be on sale the week before the prom and are available for juniors and seniors along with their guests. More information on Taylorville High School is available at ths.tcusd3.org.
Sawyer Dempsey, Hope Kietzman, and Cheryl Potter appeared as guests on the WTIM Morning Show as part of our monthly Taylorville Schools Good News Segment.
