Some students at Homewood-Flossmoor High School are outraged that they will not be going to prom due to venue issues.
The school said that it was only able to secure a smaller venue due to the sale of the larger event space it anticipated having for this year's prom.
For prom in 2021, Homewood-Flossmoor's prom was canceled due to a spike in COVID-19 cases and held an outdoor on-campus event in place of the prom.In May 2022, the venue was not available due to scheduling issues, so the school hosted prom at the Field Museum, with the intent of using the initial contract for 2023.
By the time the school was made aware of the sale, Alexander said all the spaces that could accommodate a prom of Homewood-Flossmoor's size were booked.
