Major Pride
Mount Vernon High School Prom Fashion Show
The Mount Vernon High School Fashion Marketing students presented a Prom Fashion Show on May 4, 2023. It was all satin and sequins as the students had the opportunity to model formalwear. Fashion Marketing II students managed and produced the show as Fashion Marketing I students worked alongside them to make for a collaborative educational experience. The primary sponsor was Windsor. Windsor supplied the entire outfit for 12 models (Dress, shoes, jewelry, and purses). Other community sponsors included Target, Men's Wearhouse, The Shoe Department, and The Garden Plot. After the show, some of the items were donated to students to wear at our upcoming prom. Thanks to all who came out to support our students.
Please mark your calendars with the important dates below.
