The Pre-Prom is a parent-led PA supported cocktail party which includes parents of seniors, seniors and their dates. It is an opportunity to celebrate the girls in formal attire before attendance at the Prom. In 2023, It was from 6 pm -8:00 PM. This event can be underwritten by 4 or 5 families allowing all families to attend. One parent who is a member of a social club would need to host e.g. Doubles, Knickerbocker, or Cosmopolitan
The Prom is an event run by inter-school, the ticket price is reduced by student fundraising efforts, and it is charged to students by the business office taking into account financial aid decisions. The Prom takes place at the Pierre Hotel from 8PM. Girls dress formally and can invite a date.
The After Prom is a parent-led event hosted by one family and supported by a group of parents in Class XII. It takes place at a parent's home near a beach where seniors watch the sunrise before returning to Manhattan by bus organized by parents. Signed Waiver is required.
Each year Class XII parents will organize events to celebrate Class XII students and families. These traditions vary each year. Some examples and their contacts listed on the page.
After many years as dedicated students, the emotion and excitement of graduation take on special meaning. Some of the traditions to celebrate this event include a school-led evening at school on the eve of Graduation. This evening is hosted at school for all family who will attend graduation, including immediate and extended. The attire at graduation is a white dress with ornamentation ranging from a traditional cap and gown to a simple sash, voted upon and determined by students in the senior class. Each student will carry a small bouquet (click for guidelines).
