We have established traffic patterns for the 2025 Prom Dropoff. For the safety of all we are asking that the these traffic patterns are followed: All traffic should come into the school lot from Route 50 at the car wash. Students going to prom will turn left at Ayers Rd and line cars up in the lot in front of the Cafetorium. Spectators will turn right on Ayers Rd and park in the student parking near Albany Holzer Clinic. Drop off of participants will be in the Gym Lot. All traffic will exit via the driveway to Meadowbrook Rd. Thank you for helping us keep our students safe!
