After making a Minecraft version of their school, Trabuco Hills High students are throwing a virtual prom |
When their school’s senior prom was canceled because of a pandemic, a pair of brothers from Trabuco Hills High School in Mission Viejo had a workaround.
They had already built their own school — virtually. A few months back, senior Jesse Van Norman and his sophomore brother Ryley enlisted friends to recreate the entire Trabuco Hills campus using the popular game Minecraft, which allows users to build digital worlds.

Return of high school sports will need flexibility and ingenuity |
The operative word is “flexibility." Closely in tow are unity, vision and, of course, hope. When America reopens, high school sports won't be far behind.
