Due to the recent spike in confirmed COVID-19 cases in Saline County and the surrounding areas, and the recent mask orders, changes have been made to the Southeast of Saline graduation and prom plans scheduled for July 17 and 18.

Graduation will move to the more restrictive Option B on the graduation contingency plan, which will limit each graduate to four tickets for invited guests. Attendance will be by ticket only with no general admission to the public, Southeast of Saline noted in a news release.

"Furthermore, those who are in attendance will be required to wear masks. Masks will be provided for the graduates. We regret having to make this adjustment but we are focused on providing these graduates with the recognition they deserve in the safest environment we can," the release explained.

It has also been decided that the prom and after-prom that were rescheduled for July 18 will be canceled and will not be rescheduled, according to the school.
