Prom plans are underway! Due to COVID restrictions at the Macon City Auditorium, we are only allowed to sell 360 tickets. Therefore, ticket sales will be first-come, first-serve. Tickets went on sale Friday, February 19, 2021.
Priority will be given to SENIORS (and their dates) first from February 19 to March 5th. After March 5th . After March 5th, JUNIORS will have the option to pay and attend if slots are still available.
Prom is for or any eligible junior or senior, tickets are $60. Date prices are $30. You can purchase tickets before or after school in Room 504, Mrs. Jenkins’s room. Tickets will be sold beginning Friday, February 19 to Friday, March 26, or until slots are filled.

Reminders:
- In order to be considered a “date,” one must be a freshman, sophomore, or student from another school. For example, if two MP students are going together, they both must pay the ticket price of $60, as one of them does not count as a date. This has always been MP policy.
- If you are a “paid” attendee but choose to not attend prom, please let Mrs. Jenkins know immediately so that your spot can be filled by another participant.
- Juniors MUST have at least 12 credits, and seniors MUST have at least 18 credits to be eligible to attend prom.
- Online learning or full time dual enrollment students can pay in the front office.
Information sheets can be found outside of Mrs. Jenkins's room (504), in the Bulldog Beat beginning next week, and through Dr. Finch's Google classroom.
These announcement guidelines above are for both juniors and seniors. There is an attached prom info sheet attached as well.
