The Caldwell County High School held Grand March and Prom on Saturday night at the Butler Gym located in downtown Princeton. This year marked the return to the more traditional activities that were held before Covid. One big difference was the location with it being moved from the high school campus to the Butler facility.
High School teacher Kim Farmer has been in charge of the Prom and Grand March for numerous years and explained the move to the Butler Gym.
