Local high schools are planning 2022 proms with an updated after-prom plan.
Hauser Jr./Sr. High School has set its prom for Saturday, April 23 from 8-11 p.m. at White Diamond Lavender Farms with the theme “Fantasy Forest.”
Bartholomew Consolidated School Corp. will have its prom May 7 from 9 p.m. to midnight at The Commons; the theme is “Destination Prom.”
Hauser
Hauser prom tickets will be sold at lunch from April 11-22 for $35 per couple and $20 per person. According to Principal Kris Fortune, only juniors and seniors can purchase prom tickets.
The same is true for Hauser’s After Prom, which will take place from midnight to 2 a.m. at Hauser’s fieldhouse following the dance. The theme is “Gone Country,” and the event will include a mechanical bull, music, games, food and prizes. Tickets can be purchased for $5 at the front office during resource period or for $7 on the night of the event.
BCSC
BCSC prom tickets will cost $20 each and be available for purchase at North and East’s school bookstores and CSA New Tech’s multipurpose room. Students must present their school ID both for ticket purchases and entry into prom. No one will be admitted to prom without a ticket.
Any junior or senior (in good standing) from one of BCSC’s three high schools may attend the dance. More information about the event, including the rules regarding guests, is available at bcscprom.com.
A new kind of after-prom
Turning Point Domestic Violence Services will hold “Dance Marathon: After Prom Party” the same night as BCSC’s prom. The event is a combination of Turning Point’s annual Dance Marathon event — which raises awareness about dating violence and promotes healthy relationships — and an after prom previously organized by the Columbus Parks and Recreation Department for BCSC students.
Turning Point officials have said that the new, combined event is free and open to all Bartholomew County students in grades 9-12, regardless of school. It will be held at Central Middle School from 9 p.m. on May 7 to 3 a.m. on May 8, said director of prevention Stephen Dishinger.
Seniors who attend the event will be eligible to win Sarah Cannon Dance Marathon college scholarships.
