Miami-Dade County Public Schools' (M-DCPS) deserving students in economically fragile conditions are selected to visit the Prom Boutique, located at Lindsey Hopkins Technical College, to choose gowns, tuxedoes, dress shoes and accessories for their prom events in May.<_o3a_p>

Community members, local stores and organizations have donated the new items to help students who cannot afford to buy prom gear and therefore cannot attend this important event. Monetary donations have also been secured to pay for their prom, grad bash, senior activities, as well as graduation caps and gowns.<_o3a_p>

The Boutique opens every year from March to the first week in June, and serves between 60 to 100 students weekly.
