The Cotillion
The Cotillion
The Cotillion welcomes high school seniors and juniors who demonstrate exemplary academic achievement, possess exceptional character, and have outstanding involvement in extra-curricular activities and community service. It is designed to prepare young women for the future by stressing the importance of service, academics and social grace.
Throughout the 10-month program, debutantes and escorts participate in instructional sessions, formal gatherings, and rehearsals. The Cotillion is both a formal tradition and a social experience.
