prom season
High school dances
Prom season is the period in late spring when American high schools hold their formal dances, typically April through early June.
The term encompasses not just the events themselves but the surrounding rituals—dress shopping, promposals, corsage buying, and limo rentals: Prom season is expensive for parents.
It marks a cultural milestone of adolescence, especially for seniors.
