The Detroit News. We want to keep the campus emotionally and physically safe. You've got to draw the line somewhere, and that' s a good age. Besides, when you're 21, you can legally drink, and we want to make sure that's not part of our prom. Protests from girls who'd already made dates with older boyfriends prompted Low to impose a ban, but not until next year.
Age is really just a number.
It doesn't matter, as long as you're happy. Lumen Christi, a Catholic high school in Jackson, restricts its prom to juniors and seniors. Being 21 or 22 is too old. They've been out of school for so long. They've had their prom.
