    • IMPORTANT PROM ANNOUNCEMENT 

       

      Hello Trojans! Aftefyi r much consideration and lots of hopeful wishing, it is with deep sadness that we must announce that we are officially canceling the JICHS 2020 Prom. This decision was made based on a lack of student interest in the Prom Interest Google Form that was sent out, added and more specific safety guidelines given to JICHS from the Gaillard, and the concerns about enforcing proper social distancing with a crowd at a school dance. 

      At this point, JICHS will begin to refund 100% of all prom ticket money to the card we have on file that purchased the tickets. We appreciate your patience while we begin this tedious process. Please contact us about this ONLY if the card on file is no longer working or if you prefer a paper check. 

      However, all is not lost...we will hold a FREE Virtual Prom on Saturday, July 18, 2020 with DJ ESCO spinning music at a public location on James Island. We will go LIVE via Instagram and/or Facebook! We encourage you to get dressed up, take a selfie, tag the JI Virtual Prom Instagram page (Like JICHS.Prom), and enjoy an evening of jams! This will be a night to truly celebrate our JI Seniors and students - we hope that you will tune in! 

      Please stay in touch on our JICHS Website, James Island Charter High School Communication Facebook page, and the JI Prom Instagram page for the most up-to-date information. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Quinn at andrea_quinn@charleston.k12.sc.us.
