On Friday SC hosted an event which has come to be called the Special Needs Student Prom. Speech teacher Terry Johnston came up with the idea 3 years ago to have a Prom for the Special Needs students who can not make it to Prom due to transportation and supervision issues. The event has grown and this year hosted students from Campbell, Pebblebrook, and South Cobb. SC student mentors also dressed up to serve food and dance with students.
