HHS Princess Project 2017

The Princess Project was started by a group of ambitious young women at Hamtramck High School in 2012 as a way for all girls in Hamtramck to be able to attend prom. Many girls in our community are not allowed to attend the traditional co-ed prom for various cultural and religious reasons, so these forward-thinking young women decided to take matters into their own hands and organized the first all-girls prom in Hamtramck. The dance was a smashing success and has become an important tradition at Hamtramck High School.

Since 2012, the "Princess Prom" has grown into a major event of the Hamtramck school year. In 2016 over 200 girls attended the dance. On this special night, the girls can let their hair down (literally and figuratively), are free to dress as they like, and have the freedom to dance the night away in a safe & comfortable environment. They are able to participate in this All-American rite of passage and celebrate the beauty of a supportive, inclusive sisterhood.

This year, the Princess Prom will be held on May 6 at a hall in Hamtramck. We are raising funds to secure the hall, hire a DJ, and pay for food and decorations. 

Your donations are MUCH appreciated and will ensure that Princess Prom is a tradition that is carried on in Hamtramck for a long time!
