About William Byrd High School
The current William Byrd High School was completed in 1969, with renovations and additions in 1997 and again in 2010. William Byrd is the largest high school in the Roanoke County system with an average enrollment of 1,150 students and 125 staff members. Named after a prominent colonial statesman, writer and educator, William Byrd High School has a proud tradition of academic and athletic excellence.
About the PTSA:
“It looks like a different building,” said another— exactly the effect the William Byrd PTSA After Prom Committee was hoping for.
After Prom is months in the planning, and two intense days and nights of decorating, for a three-and-a-half-hour event which has become a cherished tradition at William Byrd.
After Prom 2018 was held this year at the high school on April 15 from midnight to 3:30 a.m., after the prom itself, held hours before at The Hotel Roanoke. Students were not required to attend the prom to attend the After Prom extravaganza, and a date was not necessary. Dress was casual. Food was abundant and free.
The PTSA sponsors the event each year with great support from the community. The organization committed years ago to hold the event with no charge for admission to provide a safe place for students, free of drugs and alcohol and off the streets once the prom ends. Most schools in the area charge admission to their similar events.
