March 31, 2020 A Letter to the Blue Devil Nation - Due to current circumstances, West Memphis High School will regretfully have to cancel Prom 2020 and our musical production of "The Little Mermaid" scheduled for this year. We have also decided to cancel all end of the year award programs at each campus along with all kindergarten and sixth grade graduations. In an effort to cooperate with guidelines for large group gatherings and to keep everyone safe and well, these cancellations must occur. There are still many questions about our high school graduation scheduled for May 15th. It is our hope at this time we can make the traditional ceremony a reality, though final decisions will be made as the date approaches. We are not going to officially cancel the traditional ceremony until we absolutely know that it is not going to be an option. Now, it is important to understand that if we are unable to host our traditional graduation, we do plan to host some type of alternate celebration for the class of 2020 if and when possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we navigate these challenging circumstances.
