About Prom Season
Prom season 2026 typically runs from April through June, with most proms held around mid-May. Exact dates are set by individual schools.
History & Significance
The prom, short for 'promenade,' originated in the late 19th century as a simple formal dance at colleges before expanding to high schools in the 1930s and 1940s. It has evolved into an elaborate rite of passage, often including dinner, dancing, and after-parties.
