Doors will open at 7:30 and a plated dinner will be served at 7:45.  Students arriving late to Prom will not be allowed into the ballroom after dinner has begun being served.  If you choose not to eat dinner at Prom please plan to arrive after 8:30.  The ticket price will be the same whether you choose to eat dinner at Prom or not.
• A professional photographer will be available to take pictures beginning at 7 PM.  They will stop taking pictures from 7:45 – 8:30 so that attendees can enjoy dinner.  The price of these pictures is separate from the prom ticket price.
