Bishop Maginn High School announced in February it will close at the end of this school year due to continued low enrollment and the rising costs of education, but parents recently came up with their own "prom-posal" to save the day.

When administrators said they were unable to fund a prom for the school's 29 graduating seniors, Christine Thomas said “sign me up for the job.”

Thomas reached out to the other parents to form a prom committee. They’ve pulled together their resources, started a GoFundMe and reached into their own pockets.

“And when I say our kids, I just don’t mean mine. We take all our kids into consideration. Me and Glendale [another mom] never went to our senior prom,” Thomas said.

They’re coordinating everything from music to food.

Thomas said after the past two years and the COVID-19 pandemic, the kids deserve one night to be kids.

“There’s a lot of kids who can’t graduate out of high school, who don't make it to even see this day from violence that goes on in the Albany area. So this is an accomplishment that should be celebrated,” Thomas said.

While the parents iron out the details, their daughters' biggest concern is finding what to wear.

“I don’t think no other parent would throw the whole prom. I feel blessed that I can actually go to prom because of our parents,” said Anaya Crosley, Thomas’ daughter.

It’s not the first time they’ve rallied together. Earlier this year, the parents planned the students' senior night, another event that was canceled due to the school’s closing.

With planning underway, all that is left is to "say yes to the dress."

“Prom means the finish line, almost done with school. That’s what it means to me. I’m almost out,” said Crosley.
