Our mission is to show the graduates how much we value their achievements, while ensuring they are safe on what could be one of the most dangerous nights of their lives.

Student responses to these parties have been overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Over the past years, PANL has provided a fun and memorable graduation night for thousands of SHS alums.

The party is held at the O'Donnell Middle School, which is transformed each year into a spectacular theme-based venue, that you have to see to believe.

PANL is entirely volunteer run and is not subsidized by the Stoughton Public School system. Fundraising is needed to cover the decorations, entertainment and facilities expenses as well as any ancillary costs for items we are not able to receive through donations. Students are charged a nominal fee to attend and all fundraising helps keep the ticket price affordable.
