It is a night you will remember for the rest of your life.
The school prom is a chance to let your hair down with friends as you celebrate some of the best (or worst) years of your life in style before embarking on a new phase in your life.
These retro photos show students doing just that at schools around Sheffield during the 1990s and 2000s, with plenty of sharp suits, elegant dresses and stretch limousines on display.
The schools featured include Myers Grove, Sheffield High, Chaucer, High Storrs, Silverdale, Notre Dame and King Edward VII, with many of the balls taking place at the much-missed Baldwins Omega banqueting suite in Brincliffe.
Do you recognise any familiar faces, and do these photos bring back happy memories of your school days?
