The Weatherford High School Prom is moving to the newly-renovated J.C. Cowboys building this year for a night of “Rustic Romance” April 17.

The 2021 Prom Committee, After-Prom Committee and WHS administration made the decision to move the event in order to better accommodate students of various needs. It also provides a larger space.

“J.C. Cowboys also is incredibly well-equipped for an event like prom, and the inside is wonderful,” Afterprom Committee President and mom of a senior Krystal Moses said. “We are on track for a very memorable evening.”

Moses said after-prom also will be at the same venue this year, rather than being hosted at a second location.

Like every year, attendees and their parents will have the promenade where participants can walk in and be announced with family present. Mark adn Elizabeth McLean is in charge of food this year and said it will be great.

Many juniors and seniors are looking forward to this event, especially after it got canceled last year. Some have even talked about going in groups of friends rather than taking dates.

“Everyone is very excited and thankful to be able to have a prom and after-prom this year,” Moses said. “Everyone is working hard and our administration has been incredible by helping us find the best way to make these memories for our kids.”
