PORTSMOUTH — While they won’t get to break out their best dance moves this year, Portsmouth High School seniors will have a celebratory substitute for the annual prom next month. In a springtime celebration switch, the PHS Class of 2021 will replace the prom with an outdoor senior banquet beneath a large tent on the grounds of Strawbery Banke Museum on Saturday, June 5. Angela Hagstrom, co-president of the senior class, said the banquet will pose a lesser risk of COVID-19 transmission, as dancing is barred and all attendees must wear a facemask unless seated. “Unfortunately, we were unable to have our previously planned junior prom due to the mandatory quarantine last spring,” she said. “This year, the main goal was to make our senior year as memorable as possible.”
