The Coffee County Central High School English Department hosted the annual Prom Fashion Show Friday, March 20 featuring clothing from Tullahoma fashion shop Bell and Beaus.

Eight high school girls and five boys modeled this year’s prom fashions, walking the catwalk to help the   English Department purchase novels for students and essential classroom supplies.

The show was in the high school theater and was attended by 190 junior and senior students. This year’s event featured a special surprise promposal, adding an extra memorable moment to the program.

“(Bells and Beaus’) generosity truly makes a difference—last year, one local manager even personally funded gift card donations, which speaks volumes about the support our community provides to our students,” Dr. Amanda Monroe said.
