2023 WMHS Prom Information: April 29 @ "The Vault" in Marietta
Parking Info:
With the location of our venue for the prom we will not be able to valet park student cars this year. We hope to bring this back in the future. Student will utilize the parking lot across the street from Tampico's and the Pizza Place on 2nd Street in Marietta or the Parking lot behind the People's Bank Parking lot on 2nd Street directly behind the Court House. There is also street parking available. A key check-in will be available if students need someplace to hold the keys so they will not be lost.
Walk-in Info:
We will have Putnam Street blocked off except for a fire lane. We will set up a great Red-Carpet experience for friends and family to take pictures of students entering the prom. This will start around 7:15PM. If there is rain, drizzle or any yucky weather, unfortunately, we will not be able to do our typical walk-in.
Prom starts at 8:00PM with the crowning of the King and Queen at 10:00PM. Last Dance will be at 10:30PM. There will be light hors d'oeuvres and refreshments.
