Greater Egleston High School Prom,

About the event

My name is Rebecca Vilardo, and I am a teacher and co-chair of the Events Committee at Greater Egleston High School. Greater Egleston is an alternative, pilot high school in the Boston Public School district, located on the border of Jamaica Plain and Roxbury. Due to budget constraints, we do not have the funds to put on a prom for our students.

Why should you sponsor?

Students' experiences should not be limited by their financial means. Prom is a very special event that our students--who come from low-income families--look forward to each year and deserve to experience. It is more than a one-night celebration--it is a rite of passage earned by years of hard work. No school should have to deny its students the opportunity to have a prom, so we need your help.

Greater Egleston is an alternative, pilot high school in the Boston Public School district, located on the border of Jamaica Plain and Roxbury. We are a school that prides itself on offering students second chances. Many of our students, for various reasons, do not feel most comfortable in a traditional school setting. Thus, we provide our students with options to take classes online, indepedently, or facilitated by a teacher. Our main goal as a school is to provide students with a safe and welcoming environment to further their education.
