Ah, Prom. The dance that tons of Disney Channel movies amp up to be the pinnacle moment of our high school existence, not to be complete without a magical romantic sub-plot. As students at Edina High School, many of us will only go to prom once. Prom at EHS is usually considered the senior dance, although, underclassmen can purchase tickets. At other schools this is different. Consider Richfield High School. Their prom is open to all juniors and seniors, but many sophomores and freshmen attend because of older dates. It is even common for some students to go for all four years.

While it would be fun to have another all-school dance at Edina, I think our prom is special. We have three dances that include all of the high schoolers, but I think having a mainly senior prom is a chance for many seniors to start wrapping up their years at Edina, and celebrate with their peers who they have studied with for the past twelve years. As some would say, it is a celebration of our high school experience.
