Day 63

One of the SC School for the Deaf and the Blind Foundation’s favorite events to support at the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind is Prom.  This past years Prom 175, held in May 2024, was truly an evening of elegance…and fun!  Our students look amazing, all dressed up with their friends and family at the Country Club of Spartanburg.  Today we are celebrating the 2024 Prom King & Queen from the School for the Blind:  Noah Holley and India Hare (respectively). 

Across the United States, high school students everywhere look forward to their school prom. Prom at the SC School for the Deaf and the Blind is a cherished tradition that holds deep significance for our students. For many, this event is not only a celebration of their high school journey but also a critical opportunity to build social skills and foster connections. In an environment where communication barriers can be challenging, the prom serves as a unique space where our students can express themselves freely, feel included and create lasting memories. It is a time for them to experience the joy of a typical high school milestone, surrounded by peers who share their experiences and understand their challenges.

Beyond being a memorable social event, prom also serves as an important confidence-building experience for our students. It empowers them to step outside their comfort zones, practice independence and take part in a formal event that prepares them for future social interactions in the broader community. For students whom often face isolation, this event becomes a pivotal moment of inclusion, joy and accomplishment. Supporting the prom means supporting our students in their growth as individuals, helping them gain the skills and confidence they need to transition into adulthood.
