For many high school students, going to the prom is an event anticipated for years—but not going to the prom because the family can’t afford a formal dress or suit can be devastating. Project PROMise helps provide formal dresses, menswear, shoes, and accessories to students of all genders in Highline Public Schools.
Project PROMise 2025
The 2025 Project PROMise event was held Thursday April 17th – Saturday April 19th at the former Salmon Creek Elementary site. Students from any high school in Highline in need of formal wear for prom or winter formals could sign up for a personal shopping appointment to shop for new and gently used dresses, suits, shoes and accessories at no cost, with the help of a personal shopper. The event is open to students of all genders enrolled in Highline Public Schools and is open by appointment only.
