The party starts after prom ends and goes until the wee hours of the morning. In the past, the After-Prom Party has been hosted by the Laramie Choice club, however, due to a variety of factors, the club is not hosting the party, but it is continuing under the leadership of Ami Cass (LHS Teacher) and the LHS Junior Class, Albany County Community Prevention Professional Prevention Management Organization of Wyoming, Albany County Office. So, due to this shift in resources, parent and community support is needed!
