Our Cougar Closet has Prom attire available! We have LOTS of beautiful dresses, many of which were donated by Girls Night Out and still have the tags on them! We also have men’s pants, shirts, and ties. A donation to Coping 4 Life for any of these items is appreciated, but not required. Please e-mail Mrs. Benhoff, Mrs. Kuhn, Mrs. Walker, or Mrs. Koerkenmeier to schedule a time to shop! These designer dresses need a home, so bring a friend and come take a look!
Central will again be hosting a Prom Pampering event this year. KC Cosmetology is offering hair, makeup and/or nail services the Saturday morning of prom, free of charge here at Central. Come hang out, snack, and bring some friends for a morning full of fun! If interested, please email Mrs. Benhoff. There will be a limited number of spots, so please e-mail early.
Cougar Closet is Central’s clothing and supply store. It is open to all students and has a great
assortment of new and gently used clothing, as well as school supplies and hygiene products. Because everything has been donated, all items are FREE for our students.
