After Prom is it is a well-researched way to keep kids out of danger after the Prom dance is concluded. This year Prom is April 29, 2017. PTSA, with the help of generous sponsors, hosts this event.

AfterProm is in need of volunteers and chair positions with expertise in food service, decorations, communications and project management this year. If you have any desire to help please don’t hesitate to get involved and contact the current chair. We encourage parents of freshman and sophomores to get involved early as these years go by all too quickly!
It’s important to remain a part of your student’s life, and PTSA is a great way to do so.
Please join us.
