Exciting Prom Update for New Underwood High School
We are pleased to announce a policy change regarding Prom attendance at New Underwood High School. With strong support from our Junior and Senior classes and approval from the School Board, Prom will now be open to all students currently enrolled in grades 9-12.
This change takes effect immediately and will apply to our 2025 Prom, scheduled for April 5. While eligibility has expanded, all expectations regarding guests, attire, and behavior will remain the same as in previous years.
We look forward to celebrating this special event with all of our high school students!
