BLOOMINGTON-NORMAL (WEEK) -- While most students were used to a traditional senior year with recognizable events like prom and graduation, that has not been the case since the pandemic began.
Now, Bloomington and Normal public high schools are trying to give their seniors a worthy send-off.
Normal Community High School hosted prom over the weekend, but it looked different than usual. The event was split into two sessions while students were kept in separate tented areas and required to wear masks.
"Five months ago, I would have said it, we probably just won't be able to have a prom," Normal Community High School Principal, Trevor Chapman, said.
Chapman said Normal Community West High School would also host a prom in May, similar to theirs.
"Outdoor in the parking lot. Same company is going to set the tents up. They've got two different time sessions," Chapman said.
Meanwhile, Bloomington High School will not host a prom. Instead, it will host, "senior week," full of activities that lead up to a carnival.
"We don't want an outbreak and the kids can't go through graduation," said Bloomington High School Principal, Tim Moore.
All Bloomington and Normal public schools will host their own graduation ceremonies outside of their schools.
Although, Moore, said they had not yet decided if there will be separate ceremonies or how many tickets each student will get for BHS.
"Our school in our district has always looked out for our students. And while we have made some difficult decisions to do certain things and not do other things, it was done from our heart to keep everybody safe," said Moore.
Normal High Schools will have ceremonies throughout the day with 25 students in each ceremony. Each student will receive four tickets for their guests.
Chapman said it was important to celebrate these moments, "For parents and guardians in some immediate family to be able to see that the culmination of several years of schooling, come to an end before that next chapter opens is really important," even if it looked a little different.
