High school seniors at Katy ISD will have to wait a little longer to receive their diplomas, as the district announced April 22 it has postponed May graduation ceremonies to June due to social distancing guidelines and school closures set by the governor. It has also secured backup dates for July.

As of April 22, high school proms are on schedule to be hosted June 10-13 and 15-18 at the Leonard Merrell Center, according to the district. Prom tickets are free for seniors and their guest.

However, prom details may change if future state or local orders restrict social distancing and large gatherings, per KISD.

Seniors will receive information April 29 on how to pick up their graduation accessories, such as caps, gowns, cords, collars and tickets to the ceremony, according to the district. Information about picking up personal items left at campus will also be provided at that time.
