We are excited to celebrate your student with the Class of 2021. To help us prepare for graduation events, we need to collect a picture from childhood for each graduate. Usually, the picture submitted is between the ages of 2-12. Please label your child's picture with his or her last name, and email it to both their advisement teacher AND

Prom will be on April 17, 2021 from
8:00pm – 10:00pm at the Buford City Arena.
In order to meet the capacity guidelines, prom will be exclusively for Buford High School Seniors (this means no dates from other grades or other schools).
Students must be up to date on their junior dues in order to attend.
There will be both indoor and outdoor space to better accommodate safety guidelines.
Masks are REQUIRED and there will be temperature checks at the door.
In lieu of a senior walk, we will have a senior slideshow projecting throughout the evening.
In order to meet safety guidelines, we will not have a designated dance floor. However, there will be a DJ and plenty of space for students to dance while staying socially distant.

Dear BHS Juniors,
Unfortunately, prom this year must be limited to only Buford Seniors in order to be able to comply with the CDC's COVID-19 safety guidelines. Please be aware that your current junior dues will be used to pay for next year's prom. We look forward to celebrating with you in April 2022.
We appreciate your understanding,
Mrs. Woodson & Mrs. Andrews
