8 OPHS PTO Post Prom Information Post Prom is the largest PTO event of the year and will be held this year at midnight on June 1, 2019, immediately following the Prom. The Post Prom party is a safe, drug and alcohol-free event for OP Seniors and their Prom dates. OP Seniors do not need to attend the Prom in order to attend Post Prom. Last year, more than 350 students attended Post Prom. The students enjoyed entertainment, refreshments, and prizes. The night culminated in a drawing for the grand prize of $2018. This year s grand prize will be $2019. The success of Post Prom depends upon the generosity of parents, community members, and local businesses in making monetary and prize donations. The fundraising campaign begins NOW! Please consider making a donation and/or signing up to volunteer in some capacity. Donors are recognized in the monthly PTO Newsletter.
