For many high school girls, going to the prom is an event anticipated for years, but not going to the prom because the family can't afford a formal dress can be devastating.

This year, thanks to the Highline Schools Foundation for Excellence, a number of high school students will be going to the prom in beautiful dresses donated by local organizations and members of the community.  They will also have opportunity to select shoes, bags and other accessories contributed by the local community.

In its 4th Annual Project PROMise™, the Highline Schools Foundation collects beautiful new and gently worn formal dresses and gowns, shoes and accessories from throughout our community and invites high school students in need to "go shopping" for the perfect dress for their prom.  The dresses are offered to the girls to keep, or they may return them to the Foundation to be used the following year.
