Last year, the theme for the prom was California Dreaming. Volunteers remade the interior of the gymnasium and school's facade into Rodeo Drive, a surfing safari, Hollywood and other images of the West Coast.
Construction begins promptly at 7 a.m. on Saturday, June 23 and continues until Monday, June 25 at the high school. No experience is needed. The Senior Prom Committee says that no matter your talents, or even if you have none at all, they will find something for you to do. Food will be provided.
