The event will still take place at the high school.
After prom will still take place at the high school this Saturday, but ticket sales have been extended due to a fire that closed the building on Friday.

Students gathered in the bleachers at Brecksville-Broadview Heights High School Wednesday morning to watch local police, fire and EMS participate in a mock car crash.
