“Our goal is simple, we want every student to feel confident, celebrated, and excited for prom,” said Dr. Gabriel Martin, General Manager of Desert Recreation District. “Prom is a milestone moment, and sometimes a dress can make all the difference in how a young person carries themselves into that night. We are proud to open our doors, share in the excitement, and remind our students that this community is cheering them on every step of the way.”
