Check out the Prom's feature in Philadelphia Magazine!
The purpose of the mural exchange is to reuse murals/3D and give them a second life after prom.
2025 Mural Exchange Update:
Big changes this year! Murals will not be taken down the night of prom. Instead, PHS will open on Sunday, June 1st from 9:30–10:15 AM for mural pickup. Come during this time to view, measure, and take murals that can be reused. The goal is to encourage sharing and collaboration—talk with others and find new ways to repurpose murals for future events.
Please read the entire page!

When/Where: Sunday, June 1st 9:30- 10:15am at PHS East (bus dock lobby entrance)

FAQs:
Q: What if multiple people want the same mural or 3D piece?
A: Work together to coordinate usage dates and share when possible.
Q: Why did the retrieval system change?
A: The previous system kept students and staff on-site too late, creating unsafe conditions. Additionally, some students who contributed to the murals missed the chance to collect their work.
Approximate measurements of murals: coming soon!
