In 2020, a prom parade replaced the traditional prom in Okarche. But in 2021, a prom was planned for Saturday, May 8 at the high school gym. (Photo by Robert Medley)
Although the COVID-19 pandemic canceled the prom this year, Okarche High School’s seniors and juniors got to take a ride around town.
