The Council Grove High School Jr-Sr. Prom, “A Night on the Riverwalk,” will be held on the Neosho Riverwalk in Downtown Council Grove on Saturday, April 17. The dance will occur in the Prom tent located on the west side of the Neosho River from 7:00-10:00 p.m. All Prom-goers must check-in at Braves Gym between 6:00 and 7:15 p.m., where they will register and receive their ticket to enter the Promenade and Prom dance.
Once registered, students will be transported by Trolley or golf cart from the east parking lot near Braves Gym to the east side of the Neosho Riverwalk bridge, where students may participate in the Promenade introductions to be held from 6:30-7:30 p.m. When introduced, students will cross the Neosho Riverwalk bridge from east to west. Once they have exited the west side of the bridge, students will be shuttled by golf cart to the Prom tent located atop the west Neosho levee. We encourage community members to bring lawn chairs to sit along the banks of the Neosho River for the Promenade across the Riverwalk bridge.
The Box Turtles, a band that originates from Council Grove and includes a few Council Grove High School alumni, will be performing for the 2021 CGHS Prom. As with all events at Council Grove High School, students and staff will be required to wear masks. Once outside, all student and staff participants are to wear facemasks when social distancing cannot be maintained.
In case of inclement weather, the Promenade will be held in the CGHS Auditorium from 6:30-7:30 p.m., and the Prom dance will be held in the North Gym.
Community members and parents are sponsoring an After Prom celebration of prizes to be held in the CGHS Cafeteria Commons following the 10:00 p.m. conclusion of the dance. The Trolley and golf carts will shuttle students back to the Cafeteria Commons for the After Prom event.
