After Prom Events
Please note that CCCS does not sponsor after prom or graduation parties. It is our heart’s desire that your child will enjoy the Prom, the events that follow and that Christ be honored in all that is said and done. With this in mind, take the time to be involved in the decision making process with your child and prayerfully consider what the healthiest environment to celebrate these occasions is. It might be helpful to review the section on “Discipline” in our on-line Parent Student Handbook. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
