The prom committee held at YCHS a Prom/Graduation Dress Expo on Friday, April 26. The Dress Expo was a HUGE Success.

The feedback from the students was amazing. Moving forward, we are looking to make this an annual event and take it to another level next year. All the dresses were donated to YCHS by Local UAW 900 and EMU's I Am P.I.N.K student organization.

The success of the Dress Expo is truly due to the efforts of Mr. Taylor, Ms. Orr, Mr. Nick, Ms. Alexander, Mr. Malik, our community partners, and the Dress Expo student committee lead by graduating senior Desiree Turner.

The Southeast Michigan Stewardship Coalition (SEMIS Coalition) makes education come alive by giving educators hands-on learning opportunities and tools right where they live in Southeast Michigan. From Detroit to Dexter, our model integrates student learning into the community, solving real-world problems, and making deep connections to nature. 

The work of the SEMIS Coalition is fundamentally about community transformation and building bridges across the boundaries that have traditionally divided us. We coordinate relationships and create coalitions between K-12 schools and districts, environmental and grassroots organizations, researchers and scientists, government agencies, universities, and other regional partners.
