The 2024 Prom could not take place without the creativity, energy and commitment of the Parents of 2024 Seniors AND the overwhelming support of alumni, family members, students, teachers, District Administration, staff, local business owners and community members.
If you’re the Parent of a Class of 2024 Senior, please attend a committee meeting and help your fellow 2024 Senior Parents design & plan the Prom! If you haven’t heard about this year’s theme, attend a meeting and learn more (but don’t tell your student….it’s a secret)!
Listed below are descriptions of the many committees that work all year to create a magical and memorable prom for our students and our community.
