Katie Bialy has had her dreams of going to prom crushed by the principal at Holy Cross Catholic Secondary School in St. Catharines, ON. She was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome in May 2012. EDS is a connective tissue disorder that causes her joints to disconnect at any moment and because of her disease she has only completed 16 of the 30 credits needed to graduate but is completing her education through online courses offered by her school. Katie even inquired about going as a guest of a friend but said her principal would not allow that either. So please, sign my petition so we can try to make this girls dream come true !!
The administration at Holy Cross thinks they can treat Katie like a second class student while we sit and watch. This momentum shows exactly how many people see through their cruel rules and demand justice for someone just trying to enjoy her teenage years.

Kate is a human being like the rest of us. she has a disorder and deserves to have her dreams come true. every little girl dreams about going to prom. If anything the asshole of a principal should be finding a way to to get her to the dance and giving her a chance to feel the way every girl feels when they ho to prom!!!!!!!!!! Let Kate go to prom!!!

This makes me so mad. High school is hard enough without being treated like an outcast. Let her go to her prom!! It is just one night.

Ridiculous. Schools are supposed to support students not bully them. Shame on the principal for being so cruel to someone dealing with a health issue.

The principle of holy cross secondary school should be ashamed of his/herself for not only singling out but depriving one of their students the experience of prom, based on her disorder and credits and should be setting a better example for the young generation that occupies the halls of that school on a daily basis. Support, positivity and encouragement to ALL students is essential. Question for the principle, how would you feel if the situation was reversed and it was your child ? LET KATIE GO TO PROM..... Katie, you are strong and you are beautiful. The people that matter have your back, your principle is JUST another person- I would go anyways, do not settle and do not let someone deprive you of things that would make you most happy. Xo
