Prom 2022 Information
This year’s Junior and Senior Prom will take place on Monday, May 16th from 6:00-9:00 PM at The Steel Club in Hellertown. On May 16th, ALL juniors and seniors will be dismissed from school at the end of period 2. In addition, on Tuesday May 17th, ALL juniors and seniors will be given a Late Arrival, which means they will need to report for the start of their period 2 classes at 9:17 AM.
Planning this year’s prom presented unique challenges for the Student Gov’t leaders, advisors and the administration. During the Fall of 2021, when we needed to secure a facility, masking and availability of outdoor facilities were challenging factors we needed to navigate. The desire of the students was to have a maskless prom and we did not know what restrictions would be in-place during the spring of 2022. Therefore, we agreed that a venue with outdoor seating and dancing would be best. The students visited a few venues with outdoor seating accommodations and recommended The Steel Club.
Although a Monday prom is different and unique, our students are excited to have a first class facility, beautiful setting and spend time with their friends. In the future, we plan to return to a Friday or Saturday prom.
