Jesuit’s upperclassmen will brighten the night at this year’s prom on Saturday, May 20, at Castaway Portland in NW Portland.

Doors to the dance will open at 8:00 pm, and will close at 9:00 pm. Students must stay at the dance until 10:00 pm, but are welcome to stay until 11:00 pm. Tickets for prom are $10 per person, and must be purchased before Friday May 19 at 5:00 pm. Students can still purchase tickets after this time, but they will be $20 cash at the door on Saturday. Additionally, guest passes are due Thursday, May 18 at 12:00 pm. Students must also bring their student IDs to the dance and cannot wear heels.

In addition to a photo booth, there will be a churro and Italian soda truck at the venue.

“It’s really nice because it’s going to be a total treat after dinner that students can enjoy,” said Senior Class President, Aoife Gish. “It’s a good place to take a break from dancing if needed.”

This dance is a great way for Jesuit upperclassmen to have a fun night to celebrate their hard work and achievements from this school year.
