Prom and Promposals
Wheeler prom will start May 15th , 2023 at the aquarium. It will be a great opportunity for people to have fun with their friends. Prom night represents four years of school spirit and friendship and pride for the senior class, and it is typically the last time the whole class gets together before graduation. For students, prom and promposals signal the end of high school and the start of adulthood. Prom is a mainstay pop culture piece in America. Promposals are well known for when a person asks someone to go to his or her high school prom. Many people liked to take asking someone to prom to the next level, and in 2001 a new way of asking high schoolers to prom was by making a promposal. Many high schoolers still like to do promposals today.
Proposals are usually asked in a creative way to surprise the person being asked and to make them feel special. Prom and many promposals are still relevant today in many high schools, and have been a very popular thing for many teenagers.
