Prom

Prom is an annual dance at Gunn High School, held during April or May. It is generally considered to be the most formal dance after Homecoming. Unlike some other schools, Gunn does not have a separate Junior and Senior prom.

There are many differences between prom and other Gunn dances, including:

• Prom is the only school dance not held on campus. Instead, it is hosted at a variety of venues such as:
  • The San Jose Tech Interactive Museum (2024-2025 venue)
  • San Francisco Design Center Galleria (2023-2024 venue)
    • This was also supposed to be the venue for the 2019-2020 Prom, but was cancelled after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • The Exploratorium (2022-2023 venue)
  • City View at Metreon San Francisco (2021-2022 venue)^{[dubious - discuss]}

• Only juniors and seniors are allowed to buy tickets. Underclassmen may attend as guests of a junior or senior, but require guest tickets.

• The tickets are the most expensive ($145-$165 in 2025)
