Hamilton’s graduating students celebrate the prom that would have been

Every year graduating students look forward to marking this time-honoured milestone by celebrating at their prom.

But, this year is like no other. Because of COVID-19 proms could not take place. Still many students purchased their outfits but sadly had no place to wear them.

So, we asked students if we could help them celebrate with photos of them in their special outfits.

Here are some graduating students who dressed up for us and each other.
