Kearney High School wants to make sure our Bulldogs look spiffy as they prepare for their first fully normal prom in three years.

Kearney High School staff have organized a Prom Closet for students this year and are seeking donations from the community. The closet will be a free resource for any KHS student needing help finding something to wear for prom. Organizers are asking for donations of prom dresses, shoes, accessories, suits, dress shirts, ties, etc.

Residents can bring donated items to the high school office, at 715 E 19th St, Kearney, any time until April 1; items can also be dropped off from 5 to 7 p.m. on March 24 in the high school's north parking lot.

The KHS Prom drive was started by English Language Arts teacher Dana Hale after she found students were in need of prom clothing. Mrs. Hale decided to start the prom closet where people can donate clothing and students can shop for prom clothing.

Students will "shop" in the high school's Black Box Theater during Bulldog Time on Tuesday, April 5 and after the early-out on Wednesday, April 6.

This will be the first time since 2019 that KHS students will enjoy a prom that won't be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 prom was canceled and the students had to schedule 30-minutes increments to attend the 2021 prom in limited numbers.
