On Friday, about 450 special needs students from around San Diego County attended "A Night to Remember" Prom at EastLake Church in Chula Vista.
Organizers explained that it was a night of integration, where each special needs student, or “Honored Guest” as they are called, is hosted by a high school student who will be their companion for the night.
The Honored Guests (15 to 22 years old) had a VIP experience with custom dress and suit fittings, hair and makeup, red carpet arrival, photography, dinner and dance.
