It’s an experience our seniors eagerly anticipate each year!
However, we need your support to make it a reality! Our fundraising campaign is in full swing, and we are reaching out to you for donations of any size. With a cost of $75 per student, your contribution ensures that every senior can participate in this unforgettable event. After Prom is only possible through the generosity of parents, grandparents and others.
