Prom/Post Prom 2025

Posted on

Saturday, May 10th, 2025         Rhythm City Casino/Assumption Gymnasium

 Promenade Instructions: Promenade begins at 6:00 p.m. in the Quads Room. Students wishing to participate may line up there on the inside wall beginning at 5:30 p.m.  As usual, limited seating will be available for parents, family, and friends who wish to attend Promenade.

Pre-Prom Mass: In an effort to make fulfilling the Sunday Mass obligation easier for students with the timing of the scheduled events, Mass (for students and chaperones only) will be celebrated at Rhythm City immediately following the Promenade. We are fortunate to have this opportunity, and we embrace the time to celebrate Mass together on this special evening.

Dance and Dismissal: Immediately following the Pre-Prom Mass, sign-in for Prom will open outside the Davenport Room.  Students must be signed in on site no later than 7:30 p.m.  Prom will include dinner and dancing until 10:00 p.m.  Students may not leave the dance earlier than 9:30 p.m. All clothing, dancing, and behavior must remain appropriate.  Prom is an extension of the academic setting, and high expectations will be maintained.

Post Prom: For accountability purposes, all students who attend Prom are expected to attend Post Prom at Assumption.  Written parental permission to be excused from Post Prom (in full or in part) may be submitted to the school office by Thursday, May 8th. Post Prom will open at 10:00 p.m. All junior and senior students, regardless of whether or not they attended the dance, are invited and encouraged to attend Post Prom.  There is no cost to attend Post Prom. Students must arrive at Post Prom no later than 10:30 p.m. Students will be able to use locker room facilities at Assumption to change clothes after the dance, if needed. Students may not leave Post Prom (without prior written permission) until its completion at approximately 12:30 a.m.
