Our love for prom, a traditional rite of passage, isn't just about capering in decent attire. It is far more than that. It is the allure of a captivating sunset backdrop, the joy of taking splendid pictures on a beautiful beach, and the sheer gratification of spending our evening in a stunning setting that resonates with our age, aesthetic, and ambitions. As young adults, we find it disconcerting to spend our prom in an amusement park designed for children - Gilroy Gardens. Instead, the romance, innocence, and beauty of a beach setting in Santa Cruz appeal more to us.
A startling 90% of the student body shares the sentiment that prom ought to be an experience that should celebrate our transition into adulthood and should not be relegated to the backdrop of teacups and carnival games. The importance and significance of this teen milestone should not be devalued and should definitely not be held at an establishment that hosts day trips for elementary kids - Gilroy Gardens.
This petition voices our communal desire to relocate the high school prom to a beach location in Santa Cruz. This isn't simply an appeal - it's a rallying cry to honor the spirit of youth, maturity and camaraderie. Reflecting the majority opinion, we ask our school administrators to consider our plea seriously. Let's make our prom an event we can remember fondly for its beauty, relevance, and romance. Sign this petition to move our prom away from Gilroy Gardens and towards the idyllic beach scenery of Santa Cruz.
The administration has acknowledged the volume of signatures and agreed to a formal meeting to discuss current venue contracts. I am compiling a report of alternative beach sites in Santa Cruz to present during this session. Please expect a briefing on their response once the meeting concludes.

Prom at a theme park is literally so lame. Santa Cruz would be way better for pictures.
