Our mission is to host a supervised all-night, substance-free party following prom that provides entertainment in a safe atmosphere that thrills CHCA students and their parents.  (Check out photos from previous years.)  To do this, we will:

1. Choose and decorate a facility that is centrally located
2. Offer refreshments, entertainment, door prizes and gifts
3. Solicit area businesses and merchants for donations
4. Solicit parents for volunteer time
5. Develop policies and permission forms designed to keep students safe and help to legally protect volunteers and the school
6. Honor and recognize supporters and volunteers publicly

While this is a school sponsored event, it is parent-planned and funded. The Steering Committee is comprised of the MSL HS Principal, Assistant Principal, and Secretary along with many parent volunteers on 9 different After Prom committees.  Every fall there's a call-out for any high school parents to join committees.  Parents to help with atmosphere, chaperone, and restoration volunteer jobs on prom weekend are solicited in early March.
