Students are REQUIRED to sign in by 9:00 pm to be admitted to the prom, so plan parking and other details accordingly.  Tickets will be sold at school during lunch and can be reserved via email/google form ( for those students off campus).  Outside guests who do not attend THS/Butler Tech may go to our prom as a guest of a THS student, but are required to provide a copy of an ID that shows date of birth and/or grade level.  Attendees of prom must be under the age of 21.  We can’t wait for PROM to be back at Shriver!  Cost per ticket is $40.00, which includes admission to After Prom at the REC Center.  Each junior/senior may purchase a limit of 2 tickets.

  • Best Buddies will hold their April meeting on Thursday, April 21st right after school until 3:30pm.  We will discuss the upcoming friendship walk and play outdoor games (weather permitting!)  See everyone there!
