Giant inflatables, 5-on-5 basketball tournament, pickle ball, casino tables, games galore and more make for a lively mix; laser tag, magicians, psychics, cartoonists, massages all add to the fun; full food and dessert spread keep the energy levels high. To top things off, some lucky teens will go home with amazing prizes, including tickets to sporting events, Ipads, and flat screen TVs!

WHY do we have the After Party?
The idea of a prom “after party” came about 19 years ago in response to a growing concern over what options were available to our students after prom.  The safety and well-being of our high school students is our first priority. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, on a typical prom weekend: 48 American teenagers will be killed in vehicle crashes; 5,202 American teenagers will be injured; 40% of the deaths will be alcohol-related. The After Party has been helping to keep DHS students safe on prom night.

HOW do I stay informed about the After Party?
Parents with seniors should follow this page and be on the lookout for communication from DHS and the After Party committee.
