We are a culturally diverse, rural high school. Our students are the pride of our school system. Students compete on all levels from local to national through athletics, FFA, FBLA and BETA club activities.
We have high expectations for our students; meaning we want them to leave high school fully prepared for whatever they have chosen, whether it be college, vocational or straight into a career field.
Our Core Beliefs and Mission statement for our school are “My Education My Future”.
My Project
Last year we made the decision to bring the Prom back to our school cafeteria after years of alternate venues. The hope is to be able to bring down the cost so tickets can be more affordable to our students. My students have planned a glamorous Hollywood night which will totally transform the room into a red carpet, black tie event they will remember in a setting which in no way resembles their school cafeteria. We have had to make a lot of big purchases to create a dropped ceiling and cover the walls. The pearls, ostrich feathers, glass fillers and red and black ice rocks will be to create Hollywood table decorations which also incorporate the glasses and silver tulle.
We actually are creating an investment in our school because all these materials will be stored and reused for future events including proms and banquets.
They also can be used by clubs and organizations such as our food science department to create elegant settings. My students have worked very hard this year to raise the money necessary for all the decor. Please help us to bring the Glitz and Glamour to this special event (and future events)!
