After Prom
Following Prom, students are asked to attend our After Prom celebration at Magic Mountain Fun Center-Polaris from 12:00-3:00am.
After Prom is open to all junior and senior students whether they attend Prom or not. The cost of After Prom is included in the Prom ticket price. Those students choosing not to attend Prom may purchase a separate After Prom ticket ($35).
The goal of After Prom is to provide a safe, fun, and alcohol free environment where students can continue to celebrate the evening. Please do not put your student in a position where they have to choose between going to a private party or having fun with their classmates at After Prom.
Magic Mountain will provide a pizza and salad buffet, as well as unlimited soft drinks until 2:30am. We will have a changing area and check-in area where students can change out of their formal wear into casual clothing. We ask that students lock all formal wear and valuable items in cars.
Along with the wide range of fun activities Magic Mountain offers, every student will have the chance to win prizes throughout the night. Prizes will range from gift certificates to electronics (televisions, blu-ray players, soundbars, home theater systems, and much more!).
In order to organize this event for our students, it requires many parent volunteers as well as prize donations. We are asking the parents of students attending Prom and After Prom to donate their time and/or treasure to support this event. Please see the After Prom donation form for details.
If you are Protecting God's Children credentialed and have fingerprints on file with the Diocese of Columbus, please consider volunteering to chaperon After Prom. Sign up here!
Thank you in advance for supporting your student and our efforts to make Prom and After Prom a fun, safe, and memorable experience.

Daily Reflection
We must not be afraid of the assaults and stupidities of our common enemy, because he can do us no harm. With fear comes uneasiness, with uneasiness comes tiredness, and finally, weariness makes us give up our exercise of piety. Therefore, without becoming afraid, be happy to be like little chicks under the wings of the Divine. Let us fear no one but God, but let it be a loving fear. Let us keep our doors well barred and take care lest the walls of our good resolutions be battered down. Then let us live in peace, letting our enemy roar and prowl about [cf. 1 Pt 5:8] as wildly as he likes -- he cannot harm us. (Letters 405; O. XIII pp. 300-301)
