Parents & Students -
Due to the recent rescheduling of the State Speech Tournament to Saturday, April 29, 2023 by the MN State High School League, Windom Schools is moving the date of our Prom to Saturday, May 6, 2023. Key stakeholders were involved in this decision, including prom advisors, an after prom parent rep, our speech coach and activities director, along with administration. Weighing the benefits and costs to students, this decision rests on our ability to be flexible with previously scheduled events on May 6, while also honoring those students who work very hard and have a culminating event in the opportunity to participate in the state speech tournament. We try to avoid situations that force students to choose between two very important culminating events and the impact on students was the driving force behind this decision. Thank you for your understanding in this situation and our hope is that early communication of this change can mitigate any inconvenience this may cause. We encourage all students to attend prom and have a memorable and safe evening celebrating with their classmates.
Kind regards,
Bryan Joyce
Principal
Windom Area MSHS
